Supported Operation Systems: Windows 7 SP1 64-bit
BTS has been tested on Windows 7 SP1 64-bit and Windows 8.1 64-bit. We do not guarantee the full functionality on other Windows OS (XP, Windows 10 or Windows Server).
Required RAM: 4 GB
Your local BTS installation will constantly communicate with the server, updating the data. BTS will synchronize and download all available database files, which are now about 2 GB large. Check your internet-connection and make sure it's working, otherwise BTS will be in offline-mode and will not be able to synchronize with the server.
Attention Mac and Linux users
BTS does not support Mac or Linux OS. As a "workaround" we suggest using a virtual machine with Windows such as WINE and running BTS there. Popular VM solutions for Mac include VM Ware Fusion and Parallels (both commercial) and Virtual Box (free of charge) . You will still need Windows license to install Windows on your VM.
Required Java Version: Java V 7
BTS is a Java application, which requires JAVA Runtime Environment from Version 7 up. To check if Java is installed on your PC, go to https://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp. If the required version is not installed, the update will be automatically offered.
Port sharing
The port number used by the Couch DB to communicate with the server should be shared in the firewall of your PC. For the port number see "Install BTS / Database Installation Setting".
