What hardware and software requirements are needed for reSearcher?

For a locally hosted system, any standard server will function effectively. Simon Fraser University currently use Dell PowerEdge 1750 (dual Intel Xeon 2.4GHz processors, 2 GB RAM, RAID 1,2 hard drives) running RedHat Enterprise Linux.

The software requirements are:
Linux/Solaris/BSD
PostgreSQL v.8.1
MySQL v. 5.0 (dbWiz only)
Perl v. 5.8.1 (and above)
Apache 1.3.34 with mod_perl 1.29 or

For a hosted system, no special hardware or software is required.

Apart from Ezproxy, all required software is open source.
