# Requirements
|
|
|
|
Hardware and software requirements for Immich
|
|
|
|
## Software
|
|
|
|
- [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/)
|
|
- [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/)
|
|
|
|
:::note
|
|
Immich requires the command `docker compose` - the similarly named `docker-compose` is [deprecated](https://docs.docker.com/compose/migrate/) and is no longer compatible with Immich.

## Hardware
|
|
|
|
- **OS**: Recommended Linux operating system (Ubuntu, Debian, etc).
|
|
- Windows is supported with [Docker Desktop on Windows](https://docs.docker.com/desktop/install/windows-install/) or [WSL 2](https://docs.docker.com/desktop/wsl/).
|
|
- macOS is supported with [Docker Desktop on Mac](https://docs.docker.com/desktop/install/mac-install/).
|
|
- **RAM**: Minimum 4GB, recommended 6GB.
|
|
- **CPU**: Minimum 2 cores, recommended 4 cores.
|
|
- **Storage**: Recommended Unix-compatible filesystem (EXT4, ZFS, APFS, etc.) with support for user/group ownership and permissions.
|
|
- This can present an issue for Windows users. See [here](/docs/install/environment-variables#supported-filesystems)
|
|
for more details and alternatives.
|
|
- The generation of thumbnails and transcoded video can increase the size of the photo library by 10-20% on average.
