===== Hardware & product specific requirements =====

  * [[2110:technology:platforms:specs_desktop|]]
  * [[2110:technology:platforms:specs_server|]]
  * [[2110:technology:platforms:specs_webclient|]]

===== JAVA =====

Orbit Core, used by Orbit Desktop and Orbit Server, is 100% pure Java. No extra's, just Java. 
Orbit Desktop and Server run on all platforms that Support Java and provide a Java Runtime Engine. 

There are no differences in Orbit functionality on different platforms. \\
Except some Orbit Resource Drivers are based on third-party libraries. These drivers might not be available on all platforms, see [[2110:technology:supported_formats:index|]]. \\
Some visuals depend on the platform due to graphical drivers.

=== Jave Keystore ===

Special note about Java Keystore and SSL Security Certificates, see [[2110:technology:platforms:java_keystore|]].

=== Log4j ===

The java package called "log4j" has been compromised by hackers, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Log4j. \\
Orbit is not using the log4j package in any of its applications. \\
Orbit is not impacted by this publicly announced vulnerability. 

===== Windows =====

Orbit Desktop Standalone, Desktop Client and Server installations and support are guaranteed on :
  * Desktop : 7 (not for the Connect Edition), 8, and 10.
  * Server : 2003 (R2), 2008 (R2), 2012 (R2), 2016, and 2019.

=== Java ===

On Windows, the Java Runtime Engine used by Orbit is included in the Orbit installation. \\
Java doesn't need to be installed or updated. An existing Java installation won't generate conflicts with Orbit's JRE and visa versa.

=== Orbit Desktop Standalone ===

From Orbit version 11.0((Orbit Desktop Standalone on Windows, remark for older versions < 11.0 : [[110:technologies:platforms:windows|]].)) application license, settings, and data are stored within the Windows User Application Data directory. Consequently, each Operating System user will need to activate Orbit and will manage its own data and preferences. 

===== Linux =====

=== Ubuntu ===

The Orbit team provides and test "Orbit 3DM Publisher" for the current Ubuntu Long Term Support (LTS) release, see [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases|Ubuntu Releases]].

Each Linux distribution has its own characteristics, we tested and advise Ubuntu. \\
However, as a Linux expert, you are able to tune the configuration to run on your preferred distribution. \\

More information on Orbit for Ubunto, see [[2110:technology:platforms:linux|]].

=== GUI ===

The Orbit 3DM Publisher Server doesn't require a graphical user interface. The Orbit 3DM Import Tool is available standalone and on Windows only.

=== Java === 

The Orbit 3DM Publisher requires a Java runtime (11 or higher) to be available on the system as the default java version.
