If you are installing WFA on a virtual machine (VM), you should reserve the required memory and CPU so that the VM has sufficient resources. The installer does not verify the CPU speed.

Software requirements for installing WFA

The following table lists all the operating system versions compatible with the WFA server.

WFA should be installed on dedicated physical machines or VMs. You must not install any other application on the server that runs WFA.

  • One of the following supported browsers:

    • Mozilla Firefox

    • Microsoft Internet Explorer

    • Google Chrome

  • Perl v5.x

    You can obtain information about the Perl modules that should be installed by using the ./WFA-version_number.bin -l command.

For more details, see the Interoperability Matrix Tool.

Note Antivirus applications might prevent WFA services from starting.

To avoid this issue, configure antivirus scanning exclusions for the following WFA directories:

  • The directory where you have installed WFA

  • The directory where you have installed Perl

  • The directory where you have installed OpenJDK

  • The MySQL Data Directory
