Prerequisites

Before you install, Vignette mandates some minimum and recommended system requirements. These are set requirements to make sure you have the optimal experience regardless of configuration.

Minimum Requirements#

At best, Vignette requires the following:

Windows#

  • At least a quad-core CPU.
  • 2-4GB of memory.
  • 2GB free disk space, with either an SSD or a fast HDD.

Linux#

  • A modern kernel (4.12+). Older kernels may work but are not supported and will not be tested against.
  • At least a quad-core CPU.
  • 2-4GB of memory.
  • 2GB free disk space, with either an SSD or a fast HDD.
  • You have the V4L2 libraries installed and libasound2-dev installed.

These are the minimum requirements to get an optimal experience to run just Vignette. This does not account for other programs and other workloads.

Recommended Requirements#

If you are a streamer, or a system integrator looking into using Vignette into your own workflow or agency, we recommend the following specifications to run Vignette as these set of specifications takes into account for common streaming workflows and CPU/GPU intensive workloads combined with the application:

  • An Octa-Core CPU.
  • At least 8-16GB of memory.
  • 2-4 GB of free disk space, we recommend a NVMe SSD.
  • A modern operating system, preferrably Windows 11 or Linux with the latest kernel (5.x).

If you meet all these requirements, you can proceed to the Installation Methods.
