# Aptana System Requirements [edit]

Aptana supports the Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X operating systems.

## Supported OS

Aptana supports the following architecture versions for each OS:

- Windows - x86 architecture (32-bit)
- Mac OS - OS X \ PowerPC architecture, OS X \ Intel architecture. OS X 10.4 or later
- Linux - x86 architecture, GTK windowing system

## Hardware Recommendations

Aptana will run on most modern hardware, but for best performance, we recommend the following:

- Windows - 512 MB RAM, Pentium 4-level processor
- Mac OS - 512 MB RAM, G5 or Intel-based machine
- Linux - 512 MB RAM, Pentium 4-level processor

## JRE

Using the Aptana IDE requires you to have v1.5.0 or later of the Java JRE installed on your computer. For Windows users, take into account whether or not you already have the JRE installed when you choose which version of the Aptana installer file to download.

- If you are using Windows 98, you will need to download a JRE separately from Sun.
- The Mac version does not include the JRE because the Mac OS already includes the appropriate JRE. However, Milestone 8 is only supported on 10.4 or later. Users of 10.3.9 can continue to use Milestone 7.
- The Linux version does not include a JRE. Depending on your distro, you may be able to easily update that from Add/Remove programs.
