System Requirements

Make sure these system requirements are met before using the application.

Learn about the required and supported system elements for the application. Don't forget that you should also have a plan to back up your installation!

Jive includes most of what you need to get the application running and configured for a simple evaluation or development installation, but running it in production requires you to set up a database and configure a distributed environment with multiple server nodes. Each production instance will include external components you'll need to provide. Please read the following requirements carefully before you begin your installation.

Note: Previous versions included a Postgres database as part of the installation package: this component is no longer included. See Quick Database Setup for instructions on how to set up your database if you want to create a single-computer installation for non-production use.
