  Hardware   

Memory: 256 MB RAM is required, 4-8 GB RAM is recommended.

HDD Space:  The installation requires less than 500 MB space. The size of the generated output depends on the mass of the cluster and on the size of the FITS images. For a mass in the 106 solar masses range 1 TB of free space is recommended.
