Runtime Requirements

ORT is being continuously used on Linux, Windows and macOS by the core development team, so these operating systems are considered to be well-supported.

To run the ORT binaries (also see Installation from binaries) at least Java 11 is required. Memory and CPU requirements vary depending on the size and type of project(s) to analyze / scan, but the general recommendation is to configure Java with 8 GiB of memory and to use a CPU with at least 4 cores.

# This will give the Java Virtual Machine 8GB Memory.
export JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Xmx8g"

If ORT requires external tools to analyze a project, these tools are listed by the ort requirements command. If a package manager is not list listed there, support for it is integrated directly into ORT and does not require any external tools to be installed.
