Minimum Hardware Requirements

• 32 bit or 64 bit Intel CPUs (Ryzen?)
• A bootable USB port, or a CD/DVD ROM drive
• Wired Networking connecting to a LAN with a DHCP server (usually your Internet router)
  • Atheros/Qualcomm: AR816X, AR817X, AR815X
  • Broadcom: Tigon3
  • Intel - E1000, E1000E
  • Realtek - R8169
• At least 256 MB of RAM, the more the merrier!
• Some form of storage for the OS if you want to install it (Be it USB, HDD or SSD)

Recommended Computer Hardware Requirements

Recommended hardware requirements would be:

• During installation, have the computer connected a keyboard and mouse (useful if you need to change the BIOS settings)
• A high quality linear power supply to power the motherboard (and other peripherals)
• At least 2 GB of system RAM, preferably configured in DDR mode
• SSD
• Machine is connected to a network with WIFI (This is the ideal way for remote control)

Other Requirements

You'd also need the following:

• A DHCP server running on your network. Snakeoil OS requires a dynamic IP to install. Once installed you can go to the Web App and set a static IP address.
• Mobile, Tablet or a second computer. Snakeoil is designed to be paired with either a smartphone or a tablet. Getting one is highly recommended, but entirely optional as you can always use your second computer.
