# System requirements

## Browser requirements <a href="#systemrequirements-clientrequirements" id="systemrequirements-clientrequirements"></a>

The currently supported browsers include the latest versions of: Chrome, Firefox, and Safari.&#x20;

64-bit Chromium-based browsers are recommended for best performance.

Requirements:

* Compliant with HTML5 and CSS3.
* Cookies are enabled.
* Minimum screen size is 1024 x 768.

## Sync requirements <a href="#systemrequirements-syncrequirements" id="systemrequirements-syncrequirements"></a>

The following items are required for the [Phocas Sync](https://app.gitbook.com/s/vQCmtGTR7MsjcI62Vdki/sync) application.

* Microsoft Windows Server 2016 or later, Microsoft Windows 10 Version 1607 or later.
* The latest Microsoft .NET Framework or 4.7.2 minimum (see [this Microsoft resource](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/get-started/system-requirements) for information about .NET operating and system requirements).
* Windows server minimum requirements (see [this Microsoft resource](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/get-started/hardware-requirements?tabs=cpu\&pivots=windows-server-2025)) plus 2GB of RAM.&#x20;
  * Additional server resources must be considered for other applications which run on the server, such as SQL Server and Antivirus, along with any user specific memory limits.&#x20;
  * Phocas stores the data it collects in memory, although it is very good at compressing and minimizing memory usage, this does need to be taken into account. A useful rule of thumb is to ensure the available memory is around 2x the size of the largest sync item.
* Free disk space = 300MB.
* A good quality and reliable network connection.
* Ports:
  * The machine must be able to reach the Phocas site (*<https://YOUR\\_SUB-DOMAIN.phocassoftware.com/>*) and <https://sync.releases.phocassoftware.com> via Port 443.
  * Any ports used to connect to your data sources i.e. Port 1433 (Standard SQL Server Port) must also be available to the Phocas Sync Program.
* Local administrator access is required to install and upgrade Phocas Sync.
* As Phocas Sync usually runs overnight, it's recommended that you consider any automated shutdowns/restarts and other processes that might affect the Sync process, such as Windows updates, database backups and so on.
