Hardware and Software Requirements
This section provides an overview of the system requirements for running TigerGraph in a production or development environment.
TigerGraph can be used for different scopes and the system requirements largely depend on the use of the software. This page provides a good reference, but actual hardware requirements will vary based on your data size and workload.
Hardware Requirements
*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.
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 means that the software has been tested on the oldest and newest versions. 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.
Prerequisite Software
Shell
Please use a bash shell for the installation process.
Utilities
Before offline installation, the TigerGraph system needs a few basic software packages to be present:
tar
curl
crontab
ip
ssh
/sshd
(Only required for cluster installation)more
netstat
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
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:
