Hardware Requirements

Disk Space : to build and install the OSA software from source code a total of some 1.7 GByte of disk space is needed - depending on the operating system and compiler used.

Image osainstguide111-img002 After the successful installation from the source code you may reduce the disk space needed by OSA software by executing `make distclean' in the same directory where you executed `make install'. This will reduce the amount of disk space needed to some 890 MB. You may additionally remove the source code directories (support-sw, analysis-sw, contrib-sw). This will reduce the disk space needed to some 790 MB.

Image osainstguide111-img002 You will need approximately 10 GB of disk space to hold the data from one day of INTEGRAL observations.

Memory/CPU : to actually run the software on observation data you will need at least some 500 MB of memory per simultaneously active user on your system. Although the software will run on slower systems, it is recommended to use systems with at least 500 MHz processors.
