These are the requirements for Crucible and FishEye. See the FishEye requirements for more specific details, including hardware requirements.

Java Runtime

JDK or JRE version 1.5 or later.

(warning) There is a known issue with FishEye 1.6.x and the JDK/JRE versions 1.6.0 through 1.6.0u3(update 3). FishEye requires version 2.1 of a component called JAXB (which is bundled with Fisheye), but these versions of the JDK/JRE include JAXB2.0 (that override the jars bundled with Fisheye). To avoid this issue, upgrade your JDK/JRE to version 1.6.u4(update 4) or later. If you are using JDK/JRE 1.5.x which does not come bundled with JAXB, then you do not need to upgrade.
You can download a Java Runtime for Windows/Linux/Solaris here.

(info) On Mac OS X, the JDK is bundled with the operating system.

(warning) We strongly recommend the use of a 32-bit JDK/JRE rather than a 64-bit JDK/JRE. 64-bit JDK/JREs will consume the available RAM more rapidly, and this may result in poor performance.

Source code Repository

Crucible stand-alone supports use of Subversion, Confluence and the server file system as a repository. It can also store files in its own database, removing the need for any kind of repository. When Crucible is used with FishEye, Subversion, CVS and Perforce are supported.

Web Browser

Crucible has been tested with Firefox 3, Internet Explorer 7, and Safari 4.
IE6 is not supported. Crucible should work with most modern browsers.

Font size

(Especially for Linux users.) For best results you may want to tweak your default monospace font and font-size. The default browser font is usually Courier New which can be hard to read in some browsers. We recommend choosing the same font you use in your IDE and selecting a font size approximately 2 points larger than your variable width font. Firefox 3, Internet Explorer 7 and Safari all have excellent font rendering. It is worth taking some time to tweak your fonts for the best experience.

Operating System

Crucible is a pure Java application and should run on any platform provided the above requirements are satisfied.
