Hardware and Software Requirements
Actual hardware requirements will vary based on your data size, workload and features you choose to install.
Hardware Requirements
Component | Minimum | Recommended |
CPU* | 4 cores for <500MB data, 8 cores for >500MB data (64-bit processor) | 16+ cores (64-bit processors) |
Memory* | 8 GB | ≥ 64GB |
Storage* | 20 GB | ≥ 1TB, RAID10 volumes for better I/O throughput. SSD storage is recommended. |
Network | 1 Gigabit Ethernet adapter | 10Gigabit Ethernet adapter for inter-node communication |
*Actual needs (CPU, memory, storage) depend on data size and application requirements. Consult our solution architects for an estimate of memory and storage needs.
Comments:
The TigerGraph system is optimized to take advantage of multiple cores.
Performance is optimal when the memory is large enough to store the full graph and to perform computations.
The platform works excellently as a single node. For high availability or scaling, a multi-node configuration is possible.
Certified Operating Systems
The TigerGraph Software Suite is built on 64-bit Linux. It can run on a variety of Linux 64-bit distributions. The software has been tested on the operating systems listed below. When a range of versions is given, it has been tested on the two endpoints, oldest and newest. We continually evaluate the operating systems on the market and work to update our set of supported operating systems as needed. The TigerGraph installer will install its own copies of Java JDK and GCC , accessible only to the TigerGraph user account, to avoid interfering with any other applications on the same server.

Additionally, we have ready-to-use virtual machine images on Amazon AWS Marketplace, Microsoft Azure Marketplace, and Google Cloud Platform.
Prerequisite Software
Utilities
Before offline installation, the TigerGraph system needs a few basic software packages to be present.
tar, to extract files from the offline package
curl, an alternative way to send query request to TigerGraph
crontab, a basic OS software module which TigerGraph relies on
ip, to configure the network
ssh/sshd, to connect to the server
more, a tool to display the License Agreement
netstat, a basic OS tool to check the network status
sshpass, if you intend to use password login method (P method) instead of ssh key login method (K method) to install the TigerGraph platform.
If they are not present, contact your system administrator to have them installed on your target system. For example, they can be installed with one of the following commands.
NTP
If you are running TigerGraph on a multi-node cluster, you must install, configure and run the NTP (Network Time Protocol) daemon service. This service will synchronize system time among all cluster nodes.
Firewall
If you are running TigerGraph on a multi-node cluster, you must configure the iptables/firewall rules to make all tcp ports open among all cluster nodes.
Browser
Browser | Chrome | Safari | Firefox | Opera | Edge | Internet Explorer |
Supported version | 54.0+ | 11.1+ | 59.0+ | 52.0+ | 80.0+ | 10+ |
In an on-premises installation, the system is fully functional without a web browser. To run the optional browser-based TigerGraph GraphStudio User Interface or Admin Portal, you need an appropriate browser:
