System requirements

As Agilefant uses the J2EE web application programming environment, it should be platform agnostic. Should you encounter problems with your configuration, ask for help at the Tech & development support section of our forum.

Browser

Agilefant is developed and tested using Firefox and Chrome. Opera and Safari also work well. Microsoft Internet Explorer has many serious problems with Agilefant, and we have stopped supporting it years ago.

Java

For running the ready binaries on Tomcat, you need Java runtime environment 6 (1.6) or later. However, Java runtime environment 7 (1.7) is highly recommended since version 6 is end-of-life and therefore no longer being updated.

J2EE-server

Agilefant is currently developed and tested using Tomcat 7. Agilefant might work with other J2EE-servers and Tomcat versions. If you use a different server with a working configuration, please post the possible changes needed to our forum to the Tech and development support section.

Database server

MySQL 5 (with InnoDB engine) is required. Agilefant can be customized to run on other SQL-servers; however no documentation nor support for this currently exists. Agilefant is developed and tested on MySQL 5.5.

Operating systems

Agilefant is developed and tested using a Linux Ubuntu server. We have some bad experiences from hosting many (>30) instances in a Windows server environment, but for a single Agilefant, things should pan out nicely.
