System Requirements

Summary of the eMuseum system requirements and prerequisite applications.

Hardware

RAM

4 GB RAM is required per application; 6 GB is recommended. Tomcat and the database system (RDBMS) are considered applications in this case. If Tomcat and the database run on the same server, the minimum RAM requirement is 8 GB.

Hard Drive

The following hard drive space must be available next to the applications.

• eMuseum application: 250 MB

• Solr: 500 MB

• Media: If media is hosted on the eMuseum webserver (the default configuration), additional storage space depends on the amount of media published.
