- SourceGuardian Extension (except for VIMP Ultimate Extended)
MySQL/MariaDB
- MySQL: At least version 8.0
- MariaDB: At least version 10.2

Transcoding
The transcoding tools should be installed exactly as described in the documentation. Due to patent protections it’s not sufficient to install the default packages.
- FFmpeg
- FFProbe
- exiftool (>10.8)
- time
CSS customizations
In order to concatenate modified CSS files, npm must be installed.
Hardware
As a minimum requirement we recommend:
- Quad Core processor
- 8 GB RAM
- 500 GB hard disc space (the actual capacity needed depends on the number of media)
For productive use we recommend
- Hexa-Core processor or better (more cores allow especially a faster transcoding of media)
- 32 GB RAM or more
- 2000 GB hard disk space or more (the size required depends mainly on the number of media)
For additional data security, we recommend using a RAID controller.
