Oracle software may not run on systems that do not meet these requirements (see Important Note below).

  • AMD Opteron, Intel Pentium® at 500 MHz or faster, or Intel EM64T
  • Minimum 500 MB free disk space for installation, 10 GB recommended
  • Minimum 1 GB physical memory, 4 GB recommended

Important Note
When new Linux kernels and distributions are released, Oracle modifies and tests its products for stability and reliability on these platforms. Oracle makes every effort to add support for new kernels and distributions in a timely manner. However, until a kernel or distribution is added to this list, its use with Oracle products is not supported. If you are running any popular Linux distribution with a 2.6 kernel and libc version 6, Oracle endeavors to support you if issues arise.
