Are you running Magnolia on an OS that is not listed here? Let us know by leaving a comment at the bottom of the page or post to the forum and mailing lists.
Java
You need a Java Development Kit (JDK) or a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) on your system to run Magnolia and either the Tomcat application server that ships with the bundle or a Java EE 8 / Jakarta EE 8 compliant server.
JRE is an implementation of the Java Virtual Machine which executes Java programs. JDK is a bundle of software that you can use to develop Java based applications. If you plan to write your own Java code get the JDK. If you just want to run Magnolia then JRE is sufficient.
Magnolia releases are supported for the active Java version at the time of the first release.

| Magnolia 6.2 |  | | |
Oracle JDK and OpenJDK are interchangeable alternatives. Use whichever one you feel more comfortable with. However, please be aware that as of January 2019, Oracle stopped contributing to the OpenJDK 8 Updates project. Together with OpenJDK 11, the OpenJDK 8 project is maintained by RedHat, for more details see Leadership of OpenJDK 8 and OpenJDK 11 Transitions to Red Hat.
If you are using AdoptOpenJDK on macOS 10.15, be aware that this build of OpenJDK is currently facing a segmentation fault problem issued as https://github.com/AdoptOpenJDK/openjdk-build/issues/1315, which also affects our Periscope module. Until the issue is fixed in the AdoptOpenJDK project, you can bypass it by excluding the magnolia-periscope-result-ranker artifact from your instances, temporarily losing the functionality the result ranker provides.
Application servers
- Tomcat. Please check Apache's Apache Tomcat - Which Version Do I Want? page to find out about compatibility between Tomcat and Java versions. We recommend version 9.0.39 of Tomcat.
The following servers are not certified, only supported. We provide support for them if you use them, but we do not proactively test them for major or maintenance releases of Magnolia.
- Wildfly 11 and later
- JBoss EAP 7.0 and later
- IBM WebSphere Application Server 9 and later
- IBM WebSphere Liberty 18.0.0.3 and later
Note:
- IBM WebSphere is supported only with DX Core and with the special Magnolia package for IBM WebSphere.
Admincentral works with three responsive viewports: Note: Internet Explorer 11, the last version of Internet Explorer, is not supported. Please use Microsoft Edge instead. Magnolia Templating Essentials (MTE) supports all CSS3/HTML5 compatible browsers and includes a ready-to-use solution for making all the functionality and design available in IE7 and IE8 as well. For all Magnolia cloud deployments, TLS v 1.2 is the minimal requirement that browsers need to support for both the AdminCentral and all client websites to ensure maximum security.Browsers
Back end: Admincentral and content management
Front end: sites built with Magnolia Templating Essentials
