Installation requirements
To make the most out of the Talend products you subscribed to, please consider the following hardware and software requirements.
Memory usage
Memory usage heavily depends on the size and nature of your Talend projects. However, in summary, if your Jobs include many transformation components, you should consider upgrading the total amount of memory allocated to your servers, based on the following recommendations.
|
Product |
Client/Server |
Recommended alloc. memory |
|---|---|---|
|
Talend MDM Web User Interface |
Server |
1GB minimum (default configuration), 4 GB recommended |
|
Studio |
Client |
3GB minimum, 4 GB recommended |
|
Talend Runtime |
Server |
2GB minimum, 4 GB recommended1 |
1. Memory requirements depend on the executed processes.
Disk usage
The same requirements also apply for disk usage. It also depends on your projects but can be summarized as:
|
Product |
Client/Server |
Required disk space for installation |
Required disk space for use |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Talend MDM Web User Interface |
Server |
700 MB |
-(server) 1 GB+ -(MDM database) 2 x # records number in KB. For example: 5 million records = 10 GB. This represents the size that will be needed on the disk. However, we recommend to multiply the size really needed on the disk by 2 in order to avoid problems during high transactions. |
|
Studio |
Client |
3GB |
3+ GB |
|
Talend Runtime |
Server |
400MB |
400+ MB |
Environment variable configuration
Prior to installing your Talend solutions, you have to set the JAVA_HOME Environment variable:
-
Define your JAVA_HOME environment variable so that it points to the JDK directory.
For example, if the JDK path is C:\Java\JDKx.x.x\bin, you must set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to point to: C:\Java\JDKx.x.x.

It is highly recommended that the full path to the server installation directory is as short as possible and does not contain any space character. If you already have a suitable JDK installed in a path with a space, you simply need to put quotes around the path when setting the values for the environment variable.
Compatible Apache versions for ESB components
Some of the ESB components use Apache software components (for example, Apache CXF, Apache Camel). For details on the exact software versions involved, see the section on Apache software in the product release notes.
Compatible Platforms
Despite our intensive tests, you might encounter some issues when installing our products on some Operating Systems.

Port information
This section describes the most important TCP/IP ports the Talend products use. Please make sure that your firewall configuration is compatible with these ports or change the default ports where needed.
Table Information :
Port: a TCP/IP port or a range of ports
Direction: In (Inbound); Out (Outbound) - related to the communication direction (e.g. a HTTP Port for a CXF Route or Service we listen on request) will be an ‘Inbound’ port. A Browser who send a request e.g. to port 7080 will have this port as ‘Outbound’ port in this list.
Usage: which part of the Product component uses this port (e.g. 1099 is used by the JMX Monitoring component of Talend Runtime).
Config: the file or location where the value can be changed.
Remark: anything which is important to mention additionally.
