Software Requirements
Jaspersoft Studio requires the Java Runtime Environment (JRE). To compile the report scriptlets, a full distribution of Java is required. The JSS installer includes the required version of Java.
During the JSS download, you must accept the Java license agreement and select the correct operating system. Jaspersoft Studio supports the following common operating systems:
| • | Windows 7/8, 32 or 64 bit |
| • | Linux, 32 or 64 bit |
| • | MacOS X, 64 bit |
Hardware Requirements
Jaspersoft Studio needs a 64-bit or 32-bit processor and at least 500 MB of Hard Disk space. The amount of RAM needed is dependent upon report complexity. A value of 1 GB dedicated to Jaspersoft Studio is recommended, 2 GB is suggested.
Available Packages
The Eclipse RCP package is available in the following formats for community and commercial versions.
Linux versions:
| • | TIBCOJaspersoftStudio-x.x.x.final-linux-x86.tgz |

Note that on a 64-bit operating system you can install the 32-bit version of Jaspersoft Studio (although the 64-bit is recommended), but you cannot install the 64- bit version of Jaspersoft Studio on a 32-bit operating system.
For community only, unsupported versions for the Eclipse RCP on Windows and Debian are available as a convenience for users who are in a restricted environment and can't download or install an .exe. file:

| • | TIBCOJaspersoftstudio_x.x.x.final_i386.deb |
| • | TIBCOJaspersoftStudio-x.x.x.final.win32.x86_64.zip |
| • | TIBCOJaspersoftStudio-x.x.x.final.win32.x86.zip |
The community version is also available as an unsupported Eclipse plug-in, called the Jaspersoft Studio plugin. You can install it from the Eclipse Marketplace or download using the Eclipse Update Manager. See the following article on the community website for more information about working with the Jaspersoft Studio plugin.
