To use Analytica, you need the following quite modest minimum configuration:

Operating system:
- Windows Server 2016 or later (i.e., 2016, 2019, 2022 or 2025) or Windows 10 or later (i.e., Windows 10 or Windows 11).
- 64-bit edition of Windows.
- Sadly, it doesn't run on Macintosh OS, but it runs fine in VMWare Fusion or Parallels running Windows on a Mac.
- You can view and run Analytica models on the web via most browsers on almost any operating system using the Analytica Cloud Player (ACP).
RAM: Minimum of 1 GB RAM. For large models in 64-bit Windows, 16 GB RAM or more can be helpful.
Disk space: About 60 MB. For very large models using virtual memory because they need more memory than available RAM, you can improve performance substantially by configuring 64-bit Windows to maintain its Virtual Memory page file on a Solid State Drive (SSD).
Display: For large models, especially when working with a spreadsheet or other applications, it's helpful to have a large screen, or even two screens.
