Recommended minimum system requirements
|

#######################################
|
|
|
|
|CL-ATTR| can run on most modern hardware and is capable of running with
|
|
modest hardware resources. Out of the box, |CL| can run on a single CPU core,
|
|
1 GB RAM, and minimum of disk space of:
|
|
|
|
* 4 GB for the *live server*
|
|
* 20 GB for the *live desktop*
|
|
|
|
.. caution::
|
|
|
|
Advanced users who wish to install on a disk using less than the recommended
|
|
space requirements may use the flag ``--skip-validation-size``. Use of this
|
|
flag may cause the installation to fail due to inadequate disk space.
|
|
|
|
|
|
For use cases requiring minimal resources, |CL| :ref:`about <about>` can
|
|
be used to create a highly customized installation that can even run on a
|
|
system with a 128MB of memory and 600MB of disk space, for example.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installer requirements
|
|
**********************
|
|
|
|
The *live desktop* installer requires at least 1 GB of RAM because more
|
|
resources are required to run in live mode than after |CL| is installed onto
|
|
persistent storage.
|
|
|
|
For hardware with less resources, use the *live server* installer because it
|
|
has a smaller memory footprint.
|
|
|
|
See https://clearlinux.org/downloads for more download options.
|
|
|
|
|
|
System requirements
|
|
*******************
|
|
|
|
|CL| requires an x86 64-bit processor which supports Intel® Streaming SIMD
|
|
Extensions 4.2 (Intel® SSE 4.2).
|
|
|
|
For information on the boot loader, see the `clr-boot-manager readme`_ .
|
|
|
|
The |CL| installer performs a system compatibility check upon booting. To
|
|
manually verify system compatibility with |CL|, run the :ref:`compatibility
|
|
check tool<compatibility-check>` or go to http://ark.intel.com and check for
|
|
these features:
|
|
|
|
* Instruction Set:
|
|
|
|
- 64-bit
|
|
|
|
* Instruction Set Extensions:
|
|
|
|
- Supplemental Streaming SIMD Extension 3 (SSSE3)
|
|
- Intel® Streaming SIMD Extensions 4.1 (Intel® SSE 4.1)
|
|
- Intel® Streaming SIMD Extensions 4.2 (Intel® SSE 4.2)
|
|
- Carry-less Multiplication (PCLMUL)
|
|
|
|
The following processor families have been verified to run |CL|:
|
|
|
|
* Intel® Core™ processor family (2nd generation or greater)
|
|
* Intel® Xeon® E3-xxxx processor
|
|
* Intel® Xeon® E5-xxxx processor
|
|
* Intel® Xeon® E7-xxxx processor
|
|
* Intel Atom® processor C Series
|
|
* Intel Atom® processor E Series
|
|
|
|
|
|
