2. Prerequisites
What are prerequisites? Prerequisites are what you, your machine, and your
distribution require before you will be able to successfully install or
use Lotus Domino R5. The required prerequisites come straight from Notes,
Domino and Domino Designer RELEASE NOTES, Chapter 2. The suggested
prerequisites come from experience. For your convenience, I've divided
them into hardware and software requirements.
2.1. Hardware- CPU
x86 compatible (for example, Intel, AMD, or Cyrix). I've successfully
installed Domino Application Server 5.08 on an AMD Duron 800, Intel
Celeron 400 and Enterprise Server 5.09a on an AMD Athlon 1000. Your
experiences with other x86 processors would be appreciated.
- RAM
I've found 128 MB of RAM is enough to run a single Domino Application
Server and test out your applications. In my case, I was working with a
AMD Duron 800 processor and 128 MB of RAM. However, more memory is
recommended if you're putting your application into production or
running multiple services. Swap file should be 3 times the physical
RAM or greater.
- HDD
For a typical non-partioned installation of the Lotus Domino R5
Application Server, you will need about 300 MB of free disk space.
2.2. Software
You must have selected the following packages during Linux install or
setup:
