System Requirements
- Any computer running a recent operation system (Microsoft Windows, MacOS or Linux) and Java 1.8 should work. The following systems have been used for testing:
- Microsoft: Windows 7 (32bit and 64bit) and Windows 10
- MacOS: OS X Lion (10.7.5) and OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)
- 145 MB hard disc
- 2 GB RAM
Please note!
Although GRITS will run with 2GB RAM we recommend using a 64bit system with 8GB or more. This will increase performance especially when dealing with MS data and large data sets.
