Required System Software

It is necessary to have the following minimum version of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installed on the target platform before attempting to install WebMeter:
  • SUN Java SE 6 (aka JRE version 1.6)
WebMeter will successfully run with the above and more recent versions of the Java Runtime Environment which can be downloaded for your system of choice here.

Supported Browsers

WebMeter is essentially browser independent.  However, for reasons of practicality we need to have a finite list of officially supported browsers.  This list is as follows:

 
 
    
    Google Chrome

 
 
 

    Mozilla Firefox
 
 
   
   
    Microsoft Internet Explorer
 
 


    Apple Safari
 
 
 

    Opera
 
 

System Resources

WebMeter is designed as a very low footprint application with minimal requirements placed upon the host system.  Any server, desktop, laptop, notebook or netbook made within the last 5 or so years will be capable of supporting the system resource requirements (memory, CPU, etc) of WebMeter.
