Macos Big Sur Requirements
Bethany Pensis
Can your Mac run macOS Sonoma? How about Ventura? Or Monterey? Here are the technical requirements for the most recent versions of macOS. Note that it does not matter how much memory or storage you have, or which CPU you have for the most recent versions of macOS. It only matters which model and year you have.
If you have OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) or older, you may be able to find Mavericks in the old version of the Mac App Store from within those operating systems. You can download Mountain Lion for free here. You can download Lion for free here. Also, a DVD of Mountain Lion is available for purchase here: -x-mountain-lion.
The minimum specifications are only suggested for prototyping and testing of Tableau Server. The installer checks for the minimum system requirements and will not proceed on computers with less than these hardware minimums:
We recommend deploying Tableau Prep Conductor on a dedicated node with a minimum of 4 cores and 16 GB of memory. Additional resources may be needed depending on the use case. Contact Tableau for sizing and technical guidance.
The Tableau Resource Monitoring tool has two components - an agent that is installed on each node of the Tableau Server cluster it is monitoring, and the RMT Server for processing and hosting the web service. A separate machine/VM is needed for the RMT Server, where all processing and analysis takes place. The minimum specifications for the RMT Server are:
For RMT Server installations that match the minimum hardware specified above, the Resource Monitoring Tool can provide performance reporting for Tableau Server deployments serving up to 10,000 views per hour.
For deployments with more view loads per hour, or very high numbers of background jobs, data delays may occur. In these cases, you may need to upgrade your hardware.
The Content Migration Tool is run from a Windows computer and is able to connect to Tableau Servers with Advanced Management enabled. To review compatible versions of Tableau Server and Content Migration Tool, please check here. The minimum specifications are:
Supports Microsoft Active Directory, SAML 2.0, OpenID Connect, and built-in Tableau users and groups for user authentication and group membership definitions. Kerberos support for Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services and Cloudera Impala. LDAP for Tableau Server on Linux.
All Tableau products operate in virtualized environments when they are configured with the proper underlying operating system and minimum hardware requirements. CPUs must support SSE4.2 and POPCNT instruction sets so any Processor Compatibility mode must be disabled. We recommend VM deployments with dedicated CPU affinity.
Citrix Workspace app is compatible with all the currently supported versions of Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops, Citrix DaaS (formerly Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops service), and Citrix Gateway as listed in the Citrix Product Lifecycle Matrix.
If your certificate chain includes an intermediate certificate, the intermediate certificate must be mapped to the Citrix Gateway server certificate. For information on this task, see Citrix Gateway documentation. For more information about installing, linking, and updating certificates, see How to Install and Link Intermediate Certificate with Primary CA on Citrix Gateway.
When validating a server certificate, Citrix Workspace app for Mac uses all the certificates supplied by the server (or gateway). Citrix Workspace app for Mac then checks whether the certificates are trusted. If none of the certificates are trusted, the connection fails.
Suppose that a gateway is configured with these valid certificates. This configuration is recommended for customers who require stricter validation, by determining exactly which root certificate is used by Citrix Workspace app for Mac.
Some certificate authorities use more than one intermediate certificate. In this case, the gateway is normally configured with all the intermediate certificates (but not the root certificate) such as:
If an issue occurs with Citrix Workspace app in production, we can disable an affected feature dynamically in Citrix Workspace app even after the feature is shipped. To do so, we use feature flags and a third-party service called LaunchDarkly.
You do not need to make any configurations to enable traffic to LaunchDarkly, except when you have a firewall or proxy blocking outbound traffic. In that case, you enable traffic to LaunchDarkly via specific URLs or IP addresses, depending on your policy requirements.
If you must list IP addresses in an allow list, for a list of all current IP address ranges, see LaunchDarkly public IP list. You can use this list to ensure that your firewall configurations are updated automatically in keeping with the infrastructure updates. For details about the status of the infrastructure changes, see LaunchDarkly Statuspage page.
Enscape uses ray tracing for its real-time rendering, and almost all the calculations that Enscape performs are being handled on the graphics card (GPU). For this reason, your computer must at least meet the minimum recommended system requirements set out below.
On macOS, the Enscape plugin will be installed for all of the above listed host applications by default unless otherwise specified by the user during the installation process. This means you do not require a dedicated installer specific to each individual host application, and you can specify which CAD or CADs you want to install Enscape for during the installation procedure.
* Be advised that SketchUp versions prior to 2024 do not officially support macOS 14 Sonoma at this time. Technical issues might ensue from using SketchUp and Enscape. Please use at your own discretion.
It is also recommended that your internet connection is fast and stable, and that you should use a direct cable connection and avoid using a Wi-Fi connection where possible, as this can slow down the Asset Library loading times.
Note: Real-time rendering performance is affected by the project size, and therefore the following table provides the minimum GPU specifications that we recommend where large CAD/BIM projects are regularly being worked on.
Hi - I am planning to publish a book using Lulu's print service using APub V1 and I am trying to figure out how to satisfy their print requirement for landscape books. The requirements specified here are that "Pages should be set up as portrait orientation (if you choose to make a landscape book, the pages should still be oriented as portrait and the page size should be adjusted accordingly)." I am assuming that what this means is that when I create the press ready PDF each page (which I have setup in APub to have a landscape orientation) should be rotated through 90' so that when I view the resulting PDF each page has a portrait orientation with text running vertically (I'm hoping that Lulu is going to somehow figure out that I'm not giving them a portrait book and that I want the binding on the short edge - but that's probably another story). This seems a bizarre requirement because I'm sure it's a no-brainer for modern printing machines to orientate incoming pages in the optimum way for how they want to print. Nevertheless....
I've asked Lulu support how to accomplish this but all I got was a regurgitation of the printing requirements. So after a lot of fruitless Googling I finally found this post here on the forum that seems to offer a solution. Since I am a newcomer to APub the terminology there didn't immediately make sense but after a lot of experimenting what I am doing is this:
The above seems rather tedious, ie having to edit every page in the new book (is there a better way?), but it seems to work. That is, when I export the new book I have a PDF with all the pages rotated through 90' which I am assuming is what Lulu wants.
The only remaining problem is that the bleeds from the original book are not propagated to the new book. The page dimensions on the PDF file are oversized by the bleed but there is nothing there, just white space on those pages where in the original book the image has extened into the bleed area. When I look at these pages in the afpub doc for the new book, sure enough, the bleed in the placed book is not carrying over.
This use of the term "portrait" in lulu's description is indeed misleading. But fortunately they offer template documents that clarify this. See below the "A4 landscape" version (offered as .indd + .idml + .pdf), opened in APub V1. It shows the usual, common way of a landscape document where neither pages nor text are rotated. The way to the templates is shown in the first video under your posted link at 0:33 sec.
Hi thomaso - thanks for your reply. I am aware of these templates that Lulu provide - in fact I used their 'US Letter Landscape' .idml template for my book and as you say the template interpets landscape in the usual way. What I am talking about is their instructions for producing the press ready PDF from a book based on this template. If there was nothing special about delivering a landscape book then I don't understand why they make a point of saying.....
I don't really understand why I should be bothered if the printer rotates my landscape pages so it can print them. Anyway all this points to the fact that the PDF I send them has to have portrait oriented pages regardless of the format of the book. I would be interested in whether anyone else has experience producing a landscape book in APub for Lulu.
