If you are installing Partek Flow on your own single-node server, we require the following for successful installation:

• Linux: Ubuntu^® 16 18.04¹, Redhat^® 7 8, CentOS^® 7  8 or later versions of these distributions
• 64-bit 2GHz quad-core processor³¹
• 48GB of RAM⁴²
• > 2TB of storage available for data
• > 100GB on the root partition

• A broadband internet connection

We support Docker-based installations. Please contact support@partek.com for more information. 

¹Recent versions of Ubuntu ship with incompatible packages. Until we have resolved this, deploy Flow with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS or Ubuntu 18.04.³Note that some analyses have higher system requirements for example to run the STAR aligner on a reference genome of size ~3 GB (such as human, mouse or rat), 16 cores are required.

⁴²Input sample file size can also impact memory usage, which is particularly the case for TopHat alignments.
