Platform Requirements

• Minimum recommended system:
  • 1.5 GHz Pentium CPU or equivalent
  • 512 MB RAM
  • 3D Graphics Accelerator (OpenGL)
    
    
• An operating system for which the necessary Java Platform, Eclipse Features and Optional Extensions (Java 3D, JMF) are available:
  
  - Windows 2000/ME/XP/Vista
  - Solaris 9/10
  - Linux (w/ XFree86 X Window System, version 4.2 or later)
  
  
  
• 120+ MB free disk space for installation
  
  
• Note: users processing large nanodevices and/or molecules will benefit most from additional RAM, more advanced graphics accelerators and multiple/faster CPUs.
  

Software Requirements

To properly configure your system so that nanoXplorer will run, the latest Java SE Platform should be downloaded and installed:

• Java Standard Edition (Java SE) version 6.0 or later
  (JRE 6.0+ or JDK 6.0+)
  Available from Sun Microsystems (point your browser to http://java.com). Follow the download links and install the latest release.

Other Requirements

• Registration requires sending and receiving emails and hence an Internet connection and email account. Note that the emails may be sent from any computer--not necessarily the computer where nanoXplorer has been installed--and that computers connected to the Internet are available for public use at libraries and other places.
  
  
• Certain functionality requires an active Internet connection on the computer where nanoXplorer is executing.
  
  
• The nanoXplorer user interface is optimized for screen resolutions greater than 1024x768.
