    System Requirements IBM SPSS Statistics 24 For Windows: Operating system: • Windows 7(SP 1), Windows 8, Windows 10 (32-Bit-oder 64-Bit-Version each) Configuration: • Processor with 2 GHz or higher. • 4 GB RAM or more, for 64-bit clients at least 8 GB. • 2 GB free hard disk space. If you install more than one help language, each additional language will require 60-70MB of disk space. Display: • 1024*768 or higher For Mac: Operating system: • Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10 or OS X El Capitan 10.11(each x86-64) Configuration: • Processor with 2 GHz or higher. • 8 GB RAM or more. • 2 GB free hard disk space. If you install more than one help language, each additional language will require 60-70MB of disk space. Display: • 1024*768 or higher For Linux: Operating system: • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) Client 6 or 7 or Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (x86-64 each) Configuration: • Processor with 2 GHz or higher. • 8 GB RAM or more. • 2 GB free hard disk space. If you install more than one help language, each additional language will require 60-70MB of disk space. • Since the installation program unpacks files before installation, the same amount of temporary disk space is required for the installation program. If there is not enough space available in the /tmp directory or in the home directory, use the IATEMPDIR environment variable to specify a different temporary directory for the extracted files of the installer. After the installation you can remove this folder.
