Abstract

Hardware, OS, and required URLs for engines.

You can install engines on all Linux and Windows machines. Although engines are intended for Linux operating systems, they can be used on Windows, but Windows machines must be configured to run Linux containers. Docker/Podman needs to be installed before installing an engine. If you are using the shell installer for an engine, Docker/Podman is installed automatically.

Engine hardware requirements

If your hard drive is partitioned, we recommend a minimum of 50 GB for the /var partition.
