### Hardware Requirements

- 8GB of memory

  Studio needs a minimum of 4GB of free RAM on a developer workstation. As applications become more
  complex, consider adding more RAM.

- 2GHz CPU

- 10GB free hard drive space

### Software Requirements

Studio is compatible with these operating systems and their standard configuration. Using Studio on
configurations other than the supported operating systems can result in unexpected behaviors.

- Operating Systems

  - macOS 12 through 14

  - Windows 10, Windows 11 (64-bit)\*

  - RHEL 9\*

  - Ubuntu 18.04 or later LTS

\*Windows 11 and RHEL support is based on the Eclipse support matrix. For more information, see
[Eclipse target environments](https://eclipse.dev/eclipse/development/plans/eclipse_project_plan_4_28.xml).

> [!NOTE] Running real-time antivirus protection software on your operating system might have a
> negative impact on Anypoint Studio performance. Although this issue is prominent on Windows, it
> also occurs on Linux and macOS.
>
> The steps to solve these performance issues vary depending on your antivirus software. A typical
> solution is to either allow or exclude the Anypoint Studio and Java executables, the Studio
> install and workspace filesystem locations, or some combination of both. See examples of solutions
> for
> [Trellix Endpoint Security Threat Prevention](https://thrive.trellix.com/s/article/KB58727?language=en_US&page=content&id=KB58727),
> [Windows Security](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/virus-and-threat-protection-in-the-windows-security-app-1362f4cd-d71a-b52a-0b66-c2820032b65e),
> and

## Workspace Upgrade Requirements

You can create and organize projects in workspaces with Studio. When you first open Studio, it
automatically generates a default workspace to store your projects. Your Mule application projects
aren’t fully compatible with workspaces in a different version of Studio.

Projects created with Studio 6.x aren’t compatible with Studio 7.x because they’re Mule 3.x
projects.

See [Update Workspaces in Anypoint Studio](https://docs.mulesoft.com/studio/update-workspace) for more information.
