# Installation and system requirements
# System requirements
We recommend installing TrueConf Border Controller on a physical or virtual server in the DMZ; this server has to meet the following minimum requirements (based on the estimated 800 Mbit/s of transit traffic):
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Operating system |
Dedicated or virtual 64-bit operating system
|
| CPU | Any CPU with at least four physical cores |
| RAM | 4 GB |
| Available disk space | Disk space available for saving log files generated by the extension (if the extension is activated) |
Contact our technical support to learn more about the exact requirements depending on the number of each TrueConf Border Controller component instances running in parallel on a single machine and the expected volume of traffic.
# Installation
To install the solution:
Contact your manager or TrueConf technical support to receive the installer file for your OS.
Install the software using the standard method for your OS: by double-clicking, if you are using Windows, and from the console or with the help of a package manager on Linux.
Next, we will show how to configure the launch of these components on Windows and Linux-based distros.
