The minimum recommended requirements to install and operate WebStart \WEPSver\ are:

\begin{itemize}
\item{
64-bit Intel I-3 class processor
or equivalent personal computer.
}
\item{
64-bit Windows 8 or newer Microsoft operating system
(it can also be run on Linux systems too,
but it has not been as well tested under that environment).
}
\item{
4 Gb RAM.
}
\item{
4 Gb free disk space.
}
\item{
Internet web access to download for installation
and to access the CSIP remote services.
}
\item{
VGA color monitor with a minimum screen resolution
of 800 x 600 pixels.
}
\end{itemize}

WEPS also requires 32-bit or 64-bit Java 8
(must be installed prior to installing WEPS)
to download and install WEPS via Java WebStart.
Java 11 and later Java versions no longer include Java WebStart.
So, either OpenWebStart, a drop-in replacement for Java WebStart, can be used
(\href{https://openwebstart.com/download}{https://openwebstart.com/download})
or by using a special Windows MSI WEPS Bootloader package
(available here:
\href{https://infosys.ars.usda.gov/builds/bootloader/1/WEPS\_Bootloader.msi}{https://infosys.ars.usda.gov/builds/bootloader/1/WEPS\_Bootloader.msi}),
if needed.

WEPS has been run in the past on older releases of Windows,
but is no longer tested on them.
The default configurations provided should also work with Linux.
Contact RRSRU if you need to modify the configuration for a specific version of Linux
or need assistance with running WEPS on such systems.

The recommended requirements to install and operate WebStart \WEPSver\ effectively are:

\begin{itemize}
\item{
An equivalent of a 64-bit Intel Core I-3 processor, or better, personal computer.
}
\item{
64-bit Windows 10 or newer Microsoft (or Linux) operating system.
}
\item{
Greater than 4 Gb RAM.
}
\item{
Greater than 20 Gb of free disk space.
}
\item{
Internet web access to download WebStart WEPS for installation
and to utilize the CSIP remote services.
}
\item{
Color monitor with 1024 x 800 or better pixel resolution.
}
\item{
Java 8 (preferably 64-bit version) must be installed prior to installing WebStart \WEPSver.
Note that a later Java version can be used with OpenWebStart or when using the WEPS Bootloader.
}
\end{itemize}
