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 2 GB of 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), and it requires a system that supports UEFI.
|
|
|
|
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 (Intel® 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
|
|
|
