Hardware requirements

You can install the Bot Agent on devices that meet the following hardware requirements.


Device	Processor	RAM	Storage (free disk space)	Network
Machine	Intel Core i3 2.6 GHz with 4 multi-cores or higher 64-bit	4 GB (Minimum) 8 GB (Recommended)	32 GB Add 100 through 150 KB per Automation Anywhere script Add 40 through 50 GB per long-term project	5Mbps (Minimum) 20Mbps or higher (Recommended)
Additional users on a multi-user device	2 CPU per additional user	4 GB per additional user	No additional storage required	No additional network needed

Additional RAM requirements for the registered devices

Add additional RAM to account for applications and services running on the registered devices, for example:

Microsoft Office applications (example: Excel)
Browsers (example: Google Chrome)
Enterprise applications (example: CRM, Oracle EBS, and SAP)
VDI infrastructure applications
Anti-virus software
AISense Recorder

Additional disk space on registered devices

Automation 360 scripts average approximately 100-150 KB. Additional free disk space is required to develop automation projects because temporary files such as screenshots, server logs, and audit files are created during the execution of the automation scripts.
Free space required increases with the project size. Recommendation: Have at least 40-50 GB of free disk space for each long-term project.
Increase storage space configuration after installation, as needed, depending on product usage. For example, depending upon the complexity of your bot, generating log files and logic creation require additional disk space later.

Device compatibility

A device running the Bot Agent to perform automation must meet the following requirements:

注：

Device requirements are different for the Control Room and Bot Agent.
For Control Room compatibility, see Operating system, environment, and platform supported for Control Room
For your device to work properly on Amazon Workspaces, update the registry on all Workspace machines by renaming the spacedeskHookKmode.sys file to spacedeskHookKmode.sys.old in C:\Windows\System32\drivers. Restart your machine and verify that STXHD Hosted Application Service is not running.
