Hi all,

I am trying to install ShapeWorks Studio and want to know about the minimum system requirements.

I saw in [Shapeworks Studio Platform Specifications](https://sciinstitute.github.io/shapeworks.pages/specs.html) that minimum recommended system configuration is as below:

- Windows 7+, OSX 10.9+, and OpenSuse 13.1+ Recommended. Other platforms may work, but are not officially supported.
- CPU: Core Duo or higher, recommended i5 or i7
- Memory: 4Gb, recommended 8Gb or more
- Graphics Memory: minimum 128MB, recommended 256MB or more

Is this still valid information?

Thanks.

We probably need to update that to say Windows 10, MacOS 15 (soon).

As far as CPU/RAM, it will depend a lot on the scale of the shape model.
