Software Requirements

To run geWorkbench you will need to have Sun Java J2SE 5.0 or higher installed on your computer (this is also refered to as the Java 1.5 JRE). If the JRE is not already installed on your computer you can get it from Sun's Java Web site, http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp. geWorkbench is downloaded as a self-installing package with support for Windows, Linux and MAC OS-X.

Hardware Requirements

Testing of geWorkbench is done on machines with 1 GB of memory. 512 MB should be adequate for most geWorkbench modules. Working with large datasets (100s of arrays) may require additional memory.
