### System requirements <a name="paragraph1"></a>
  
  
**Before** you create and configure a hybrid deployment using the swarmlab-agent client, your Local Machines need to meet certain requirements.
  

> If you don't meet those requirements, you won't be able to complete the steps within the swarmlab-agent client and you won't be able to configure a hybrid deployment between your Local Enviroment and Swarmlab Online Enviroment.
   

- A Linux Server (Virtual or Physical) 	
 - You must have super user privileges (sudo)
- Docker Engine- Community version 18 or later is required. 	
 -  Docker Engine is supported on x86_64 (or amd64), armhf, and arm64 architectures.
- RAM
 - Absolute minimum to run the daemon and some very light containers - 512MB
 - Minimum for “comfortable” usage – 2GB
- CPU
 - Minimum: 2
 - Recommended 4+
- Disk Space
 - 10 GB for internal requirements.
 - The amount of additional disk space required for load file staging, persistence, or backups depends on the size of the data to be loaded.

> Docker uses a hypervisor with a VM, and the host server must support virtualization.
