Minimum Requirements

Before you begin installing Tigase server onto your system, please make sure the minimum requirements are met first:

  • Java Development Kit (JDK) 11 (LTS) - We recommend OpenJDK
  • Administrator access - We recommend that you install Tigase Server from a user login with administrator access.

Note

It may be possible to run Tigase XMPP Server with JDK v8 but it is not recommended as not all features will be available and you may encounter startup issues.

Note

While it should be possible to use newer versions of the JDK, we don’t guarantee it and we recommend using the one mentioned above.
