Helium User Documentation

Requirements

The KnownSpace architecture, while providing excellent features and flexibility makes high demands on a computer. The following is a light-hearted list of requirements and a suggested configuration for using Helium.

Requirements

Java Web Start
If your system supports Web Start it will automatically download the required version of the Java Runtime Environment (in this case 1.4.0 or greater).

Suggestions

As much RAM as possible
Helium, when containing a large number of messages, can use a great deal of memory. At least 256MB of RAM is recommended. It will work with less, of course, but the more the merrier.
As much CPU speed as possible
See above.

Future revisions of Helium will provide mechanism for using available disk space as additional storage space.
