From Aptana

(Redirected from Aptana System Requirements)

Aptana Studio supports the Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X operating systems.

Supported Operating Systems, Supported Architectures, JVM Notes

  • JVM for All 64-bit Machines
    • Use the 32-bit version of the Sun JVM.
  • Windows - x86 architecture
    • 64-bit machines should use the plugin version of Studio.
  • Mac OS - OS X \ PowerPC architecture, OS X \ Intel architecture. OS X 10.4 or later
  • Linux - x86 architecture, GTK windowing system
    • 64-bit machines should use the plugin version of Studio.

Hardware Recommendations

Aptana Studio will run on most modern hardware, but for best performance, we recommend the following:

  • Windows - 512 MB RAM, Pentium 4-level processor
  • Mac OS - 512 MB RAM, G5 or Intel-based machine
  • Linux - 512 MB RAM, Pentium 4-level processor

JRE

Using Aptana Studio requires you to have v1.5.0 or later of the Java JRE installed on your computer.

  • Windows: Java v1.6 is included with the download.
  • Windows 98: You need to download the JRE separately from Sun if one is not already present on your system.
  • Mac OS X: Not supplied because the Mac OS already includes the appropriate JRE.***
  • Linux (32 bit): Not included; depending on your distro, you may be able to easily update that from Add/Remove programs.
  • Linux (64 bit): Only JRE 1.5 is supported at this time.

OS X Note

With Studio 1.1x and 1.2 on OS X You must use Java 5 even though Apple has released Java 6. The Eclipse Platform (on which Studio is built) uses the SWT Toolkit, and the toolkit requires a 32-bit version of Java. Apple has documented this conflict at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1856.

You can tell Studio to use Java 5/JDK 1.5 by changing AptanaStudio.ini:

  • Open Finder to the Applications folder (or where you installed Aptana Studio).
  • Right (control) click on the Aptana Studio icon and select Show package contents
  • Drill down to Contents/MacOS folder
  • Edit the AptanaStudio.ini file: add the parameter -vm /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5/Commands/java and save the file.

Very Important: You must add the -vm argument as described above before the -vmargs argument which will already be present!

Launch Aptana Studio from the dock or Finder and you should be working properly.

If not, or if you need assistance, please open a ticket in ASAP.
