AbiWord Help: System Requirements

AbiWord System Requirements

This document describes the system requirements we believe necessary in order for someone on run AbiWord reasonably on his/her computer. This is a rough guide, and you may run just fine on a lower-class system than what we describe, or run poorly on a higher-end system. As always, your mileage may vary. With that said, we hope for this to be useful:

Microsoft Windows:

  • 486dx or better processor
  • At least 16MB RAM
  • Windows 95b or later

GNU/Linux, BSD, Solaris (7,8,9), AIX, HP/UX (10.20, 11.0):

  • GTK+ 2.0 (2.2 recommended)
  • At least 16MB RAM
  • PPC, Intel (Pentium or better preferred), Sparc (UltraSparc preferred), RISC, or MIPS processor
  • Optionally GNOME 2.x (GNOME-Print >= 2.2)

Mac OS X:

  • XFree86 4.3 of some description installed
  • At least 16MB RAM
  • G3 or better processor
  • Mac OS X (10.2 or better preferred)

QNX:

  • Pentium class processor or better
  • At least 16MB RAM

BeOS:

These are the help files for AbiWord and are normally installed with the program. As with AbiWord itself, these help files are written by volunteers. Further help is available online - see the FAQ.
