For Windows users, Sqlephant is compatible with Windows 8, 10, and 11, requiring a minimum of 4GB of memory. MacOS users should ensure they are running macOS 10.13 or a later version. For those using Linux, it is imperative to have Java 11 to 17 installed on their systems.

Are there supplemental software to install prior to Sqlephant?
For Windows and macOS, all necessary software components, including Java JVM, are embedded within the Sqlephant installer itself. Hence, no additional software installations are required prior to installing Sqlephant. However, Linux users need to ensure that Java 11 is installed on their system before they install Sqlephant.
Do I need admin/root privileges to install Sqlephant on my system?

No, you do not need admin/root privileges to install Sqlephant on Windows and macOS. However, installing Java 11 on Linux may require root privileges.


Windows: I have less than 4GB memory on my machine. Can I still run Sqlephant?

Sqlephant requires at least 4GB of memory to operate optimally. It may be possible to run the software with less memory, but you may experience performance issues or crashes.

macOS: what should I do if the installation of Sqlephant is blocked by Gatekeeper on macOS?

If Gatekeeper on macOS blocks the installation of Sqlephant, follow these steps to authorize it:

  1. Open ‘System Preferences’.
  2. Navigate to ‘Security & Privacy’.
  3. In the ‘General’ tab, click the lock to make changes, entering your password when prompted.
  4. Under ‘Allow apps downloaded from:’, select ‘App Store and identified developers’.
  5. If Sqlephant was blocked, click ‘Open Anyway’.

After the installation, it’s recommended to return your security settings to their original state for optimal system security

Linux: how can I install Java 11 on my machine?

You can install Java 11 on your Linux machine using package managers like apt for Ubuntu or yum for CentOS. Here’s an example of how you can install Java 11 on Ubuntu:
