Architecture and environment of OpenEMM

What do you need to run OpenEMM?

To run OpenEMM you need nothing special and - of course - only open source software!

 

General requirements for the server you want to use for OpenEMM:

  • minimum of 1 GByte RAM, 2 GByte is recommended
  • shell access (via SSH) with root user rights
  • fix IP address
  • no need of a dedicated server - virtual server (e.g. VMware) is ok

 

OpenEMM runs on top of a well proven open source software stack: Linux, MySQL, Sendmail and Python.

 

Operating System:

  • first choice: RedHat Enterprise Linux 4.x or higher or compatible (like CentOS 4)
  • second choice: Ubuntu 10 or higher
  • third choice: all other Linux distributions like Fedora Core 5, Novell Suse 9.x or Open Suse 10.x or higher
  • fourth choice (due to lower platform reliability): Windows 2000 or Windows XP

Software stack:

  • Sun JDK 6 or higher
  • MySQL 4.1.18 or higher (we have not used older versions)
  • Sendmail 8.13 or higher (not required for Windows version of OpenEMM)
  • Python 2.4.x or higher

 

If you get OpenEMM running on platforms not mentioned here, please notify us at info AT openemm DOT org (subject: "OpenEMM requirements") so that we can update this page with your knowhow.
