Esko | Tilia Labs Documentation # System requirements
The requirements below are the minimum system requirements for running Phoenix 23.3. Exceeding these requirements will, in most cases, lead to a performance increase.
Note
It is recommended that Automated Phoenix configurations be on dedicated computers on which no other software is running for optimal performance.
# Operating System
Phoenix is supported on the following operating systems:
# Windows
- Windows 10
- Windows 8.1
- Windows 7 (soon deprecated)
- Windows Server 2019

# Ubuntu (Automation only via REST API)
- Ubuntu 16.0.4+

# CPU Requirements
| Phoenix Configuration | CPU | RAM |
|---|---|---|
| Phoenix | 2 processor cores (x86-64) | 8 GB (16 GB for Products Plus) |
| Phoenix + Automate | 4 processor cores (x86-64) | 16 GB |
| +1 Concurrency | 4 processor cores (x86-64) | 24 GB |
| +2 Concurrnecy | 6 processor cores (x86-64) | 32 GB |
| +4 Concurrency | 10 processor cores (x86-64) | 36+ GB |
As a general rule
4 cores and 10 GB is considered to be a base performance layer. 3 GB of RAM is expected to be available per extra core for regular processing.
# Hard Disk
- The installation takes up 2 GB of disk space.
- 100GB free space is required, 200GB recommended for Phoenix + Automate
- Take into account the need for storage of temporary and production data.
