The system requirements of the three parts of NetPhantom are shown below.
NetPhantom Client
The NetPhantom Client requires a Java Runtime versions 8 to 21 and an
operating system supporting that platform. There are no special requirements as
to the vendor of the Java Virtual Machine.
If the client is installed on a workstation, it requires about 500 KB of disk.
The NetPhantom Client can run as a stand-alone Java Application and as an Applet
inside or outside a browser. Tested browsers with their minimum versions are Microsoft Internet Explorer 6,
Mozilla Firefox 2, Google Chrome 3, Opera 9 and Apple Safari 4. For "newer"" browsers, only
Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 is supported.
When using Java 11 and later, the preferred way of running the NetPhantom Client is as a Java application
or by using the NetPhantom Starter. The Editor and the Server Administration provides easy ways to publish
such applications.
NetPhantom Server
The Server requires Java version 8 to 21. The operating system is typically Windows Server or UNIX-based of Linux type. In order to run many concurrent client connections and handle a lot of threads, a 64-bit operating system with a 64-bit JVM is recommended. This also enables the NetPhantom Server to address more memory (the maximum Java heap memory limit being up to ~900 MB in practice for a 32-bit JVM).
NetPhantom Editor
NetPhantom Editor requires a 64-bit Windows platform, although parts still require
32-bit Java version 8 to 19 (32-bit support for Windows was dropped in Java 20/21 and on),
even if the NetPhantom Server is integrated into it.
The Editor therefore requires a 64-bit Windows operating system. It also requires Java
in both 32- and 64-bit versions of Java. The Editor is supported under Windows 7/8/8.1/10/11,
or Windows Server 2008 R2/2012 R2/2016/2019/2022.
