This guarantees you will be running on systems with adequate resources. We strongly recommend any Proof of Concept (PoC) testing or prototyping be done using Tableau Cloud. Minimum installation hardware requirements Looking for Tableau Server on Linux? See Minimum Hardware Requirements and Recommendations for Tableau Server (Link opens in a new window). For more information about processes, see Server Process Limits Note: If you install Tableau Server on a computer that meets the minimum requirements but does not have at least 8 cores and 16 GB of system memory, the default number of all processes installed is reduced to one of each process by design. In addition, Tableau Server should not be installed on a physical computer or on a VM instance that is also running resource-intensive applications such as databases or application servers. For certain nodes dedicated to specific tasks and processes such as backgrounder, or Prep, you may be able to use servers that do not meet this minimum recommendation. If your computer meets the minimum installation requirements but does not meet these recommendations, the Setup program will warn you but you can continue the installation. Minimum recommendations for production go beyond minimum installation requirements, and represent the minimum hardware configuration you should use for installation on most production nodes.

This will give you an opportunity to experience Tableau Server on appropriately sized hardware. In certain cases Tableau Server may not start without at least 20GB of memory.įor prototyping and Proof of Concept (PoC) testing, we recommend you use Tableau Cloud. Depending the features you have licensed and are using, you may experience poor performance and an unrealistic experience. We do not recommend you attempt run Tableau Server on servers with these values, even if you are just testing. Minimum requirements for installation reflect the minimum hardware your computer must have in order to install Tableau Server. The following minimum hardware requirements and recommendations apply to all computers running Tableau Server, including physical hardware and virtual machines (VMs):
