The Sakai software is intended to work on a wide range of hardware and operating systems that support Java. This section will describe the typical environments used within the Sakai project for both the production and developer environments.
Sakai developers typically use one of the following environments
| Operating System |
Windows-XP, Macintosh OS/X, or Linux |
| Processor |
PowerPC 800Mhz or higher, Pentium 2Ghz or higher |
| Memory |
512 MB or higher (1GB recommended) |
| Software |
JAVA 1.4 or later and Jakarta Maven build environment |
| IDE Software |
Eclipse |
The typical production environment:
| Operating System |

| Processor |
Intel-Based |
| Memory |
4GB or greater |
| Software |

Users are welcome to use other environments, but by sticking with the common environment used by the Sakai developers and the production Sakai systems, it allows users to take advantage of the testing and QA that is done by the developers and core institutions.
