Hardware and software requirements

Analytica User GuideIntroduction: About AnalyticaHardware and software requirements

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

• Operating system:
  • Windows Server 2003 or later (i.e., 2003, 2008, 2012 or 2016) or Windows 7 or later (Windows 8 or Windows 10).
  • To run Analytica 64-bit, you’ll need a 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).
  • The Analytica Tablet (in beta) runs on IOS, on iPad or iPhone, to access any model deployed on ACP.
• RAM: Minimum of 1 GB RAM, 3 GB recommended on 32-bit windows. For large models in 64-bit Windows, up to 16 GB RAM 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.
