Installation Requirements
Before you install Incorta, ensure your system meets the following requirements.
Operating System
The following Operating Systems (OS) support the Incorta Unified Data Analytics Platform :
- Mac OS
- CentOS 7 and up (7.5 and up recommended)
- Redhat 7 and up (7.5 and up recommended)
- Amazon Linux 2
- Oracle Linux 7.6
- Windows (Windows Server 2012)
Requirements
Installation of the Incorta Unified Data Analytics Platform requires the following:
- At least 16 GB of RAM. This number could increase depending on the amount of data
- A temporary directory (/tmp folder) with at least 2 GB of available space
- Fast storage disk (e.g. SSD)
- NFS v4 shared storage disk, accessible by all the services within the same cluster (i.e. loader and analytic services). The shared disk will be used to store data files (if applicable), parquet files, and snapshot files used by the system. This is not required if you are installing Incorta on a single server (for example, on your laptop)
- Java Development Kit (JDK) 8u144, JDK 8u171 and up, Open JDK 11, or Oracle JDK 8. Incorta does not support Java SDK 1.8.0.151 (8u151) through 1.8.0.171 (8u171). Install Java and set the Java home path. For more on how to install Java, see Install Java
- To use SQL Server 2008 with OpenJDK 11, you must update the JDBC driver to version 7.4.
- A database to connect to Incorta. See Database Requirements
- For Windows Installations, download and install Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 redistributable
- Zookeeper 3.5.4, bundled with Incorta, but you can install it separately. For more information, see Set up a Zookeeper Cluster
- Spark 2.4.3 and Hadoop 3.2.0, bundled with Incorta, but you can install them separately. For more information, see About Spark
- Python 2.7.5, 3.5, 3.6, or 3.7
- Font families installed on each server where Incorta will be installed: Lucida Grande, Lucida Sans Unicode, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, Sans-serif
- (Incorta Excel Add-in only) Microsoft Excel 2013
- (Incorta Excel Add-in only) Microsoft Excel Plugin, Version 16.2
Database Requirements
The Incorta Unified Data Analytics Platform requires one of the following RDBMS for the Incorta metadata database:
- Derby (packaged for demos and not recommended for production environments)
- MySQL (5.6)
- Oracle 11g and 12c
When you install the Incorta Unified Data Analytics Platform on an Oracle or MySQL database, the user needs to be granted certain privileges in order to complete the installation successfully. If these privileges are not granted, users can experience database authorization issues during the installation process. Refer to the following table for the minimum required privileges.
| Oracle | MySQL |
|---|---|
| CONNECT | CONNECT |
| ALTER TABLE | ALTER TABLE |
| CREATE TABLE | CREATE TABLE |
| INSERT | INSERT |
| CREATE INDEX | CREATE INDEX |
| CREATE OR REPLACE SYNONYM | DROP TABLE |
| CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER |
Browser Requirements
You can use Incorta on the following browsers:
- Chrome
- Safari
- Firefox
You can use the Incorta iOS Application with iOS Release 4.0.
Port Requirements
The following table is a list of the ports required by the Incorta Unified Data Analytics Platform at startup. Using these ports will significantly help avoid startup issues. You set up some of these ports during the installation process. Others are fixed values and cannot be changed. Using the recommended ports will significantly help avoid startup issues.
Certain ports must be open and reachable through the network, and these are indicated in the table below.
The table below references file names. You can find the catalina.properties file and the server.xml file at the path: <INSTALLATIONPATH>/IncortaNode/services/<SERVICEFOLDER>/conf/. Other files mentioned in the table begin can be found under: <INSTALLATION_PATH>/IncortaNode/.

Additional Notes:
- The Shutdown Port 8005 is the shutdown port for the Incorta Unified Data Analytics Platform, and it needs to be accessed by incoming and outgoing data. This port can be configured during the installation process, or changed in the
catalina.propertiesfile. - The HTTP Port 8080 can be configured during the installation process. If it is configured on the Incorta Unified Data Analytics Platform, then it should be made available at startup. You can change the value in the
catalina.propertiesfile. - The HTTPS Port 8443 can be configured during the installation process, or changed in the
server.xmlfile. - The AJP Connector Port 8009 is the Apache Web Server port. It can be configured during the installation process, or changed in the
server.xmlfile.
