System requirements​

Operating system:

  • Ubuntu 20 (focal), 22 (jammy), 24 (noble)
  • Debian 10 (buster), 11 (bullseye), 12 (bookworm)
  • RedHat/CentOS 8.0 or 9.0

Recommendation:

  • Swap partition should be disabled on the provisioned VM otherwise it will degrade the overall performance of Arcanna.ai.

Dependencies:

  • Docker should be installed, otherwise the Arcanna installer will install Docker for you.

Virtualization:

  • AVX or other specific flags should be enabled for the VM. While VMware has this configuration enabled by default, Proxmox requires manual configuration by setting up the CPU type to host from VM advanced settings.
