# Hardware And Operating System

## RAM Requirements

The components that are included in your Bluetext project will affect the hardware requirements needed. With a minimal configuration you will not need much, but if you're building an enterprise-grade system you would need at least 16GB of RAM and more if you want to run your own AI models.

## Recommended Setup

We don’t recommend using processors released before 2015. For the best experience with Bluetext, use the latest version of macOS on a Mac with an Apple M-series chip. However, Bluetext will run on any system capable of running Polytope.

## Operating System Requirements

Bluetext runs on the latest versions of macOS, Windows and Linux. 

<table><thead><tr><th width="171">OS</th><th>Versions</th><th>Processors</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>macOS</td><td>Latest version of macOS.

Please let us know if you have a ARM 64 processor, so we can prioritize this.</td></tr><tr><td>Linux</td><td>Bluetext generally operates well across most Linux distributions, but you may encounter issues depending on the version and distribution you are using. </td><td>AMD 64. Please let us know if you have a ARM 64 processor, so we can prioritize this. </td></tr></tbody></table>

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.bluetext.dev/hardware-and-operating-system.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
