System Requirements

Panopticon Real Time is supported on these operating systems:

Linux which includes the following distributions and versions:

  • RHEL/CentOS 7 or higher
  • Debian 8 or higher
  • Ubuntu 14 or higher
  • Fedora 21 or higher

Windows operating systems – For Evaluation, Development, and Testing Environments Only

  • Windows 10 or higher (64-bit)
  • Windows Server 2012 or higher (64-bit)

 

Panopticon Real Time also requires:

  • Oracle Java SE 17 and Open JDK 17
     

    NOTE:

    • See Java documentation about setting up the JAVA_HOME environment variable in your system.
    • See Required Java Option Settings with Java 17 for the required additional configuration to load Apache Arrow files and to be able to use Arrow serialization with Python.

  • Apache Tomcat 10

    NOTE: When running on Windows instead of Linux, it is recommended to use the zip distribution of Apache Tomcat for Windows rather than the Windows Service Installer. This is because the zip distribution will let you run Apache Tomcat without any dependency on the Windows service manager, and management of the Apache Tomcat server will conform more with how it is done on Linux.

     

    NOTE: Starting with Tomcat 9, Debian Linux implements a security policy which puts a harder default restriction on which folders a Tomcat 9 web application can write to.

    The change is described in full detail here: https://salsa.debian.org/java-team/tomcat9/-/commit/3ca5cbdc2f970470341926354f210dff032fc5f3

    Quoting from the release notes:

    • Tomcat is sandboxed by systemd and only has write access to the following directories:

       

      Directory Actual Directory
      /var/lib/tomcat9/conf/Catalina /etc/tomcat9/Catalina
      /var/lib/tomcat9/logs /var/log/tomcat9
      /var/lib/tomcat9/webapps  
      /var/lib/tomcat9/work /var/cache/tomcat9

       

    •  If write access to other directories is required, override the service settings. This is done by creating an override.conf file in /etc/systemd/system/tomcat9.service.d/ containing:

      [Service]
      ReadWritePaths=/path/to/the/directory/

      Ensure to restart the service afterward with:

      • systemctl daemon-reload
      • systemctl restart tomcat9

     

Panopticon Real Time is supported for deployment on the following cloud providers:

  • Amazon Web Services (AWS)
  • Microsoft Azure
  • Google Cloud Platform
  • Oracle Cloud

    Containerized deployment with Docker Linux containers is also supported.

 

Supported browsers include the latest version of:

  • Google Chrome
  • Safari

 

NOTE: Panopticon Real Time requires administrative privileges during installation. Administrative privileges are not required after installation is complete.
