System requirements

If you are working on a Adobe Commerce on cloud infrastructure project, see Service versions in the Cloud Guide.

This table shows versions of third-party software dependencies that Adobe has tested with specific Adobe Commerce and Magento Open Source releases. Adobe only supports the combination of system requirements described in the following table.

For example, 2.4.3 is fully tested with MariaDB 10.4. Adobe recommends that you upgrade to MariaDB 10.4 before upgrading to 2.4.3.

PHP OPcache

We strongly recommend you verify that PHP OPcache is enabled for performance reasons. The OPcache is enabled in many PHP distributions. To verify if it is installed, see our PHP documentation.

If you must install it separately, see the PHP OPcache documentation.

PHP settings

We recommend particular PHP configuration settings, such as memory_limit, that can avoid common problems when using Magento.

For more information, see Required PHP settings.

PHPUnit

PHPUnit (as a command-line tool) 9.0.0

RAM

Upgrading the Magento applications and extensions you obtain from Commerce Marketplaces and other sources can require up to 2GB of RAM. If you are using a system with less than 2GB of RAM, we recommend you create a swap file; otherwise, your upgrade might fail.

System dependencies

Magento requires the following system tools for some of its operations:

• bash
• gzip
• lsof
• mysql
• mysqldump
• nice
• php
• sed
• tar

SSL

• A valid security certificate is required for HTTPS.
• Self-signed SSL certificates are not supported.
• Transport Layer Security (TLS) requirement - PayPal and repo.magento.com both require TLS 1.2 or later.

Supported browsers

Storefront and Admin:

• Microsoft Edge, latest–1
• Firefox latest, latest–1 (any operating system)
• Chrome latest, latest–1 (any operating system)

Here, latest–1 means one major version earlier than the latest released version.

Xdebug

php_xdebug 2.5.x or later (development environments only; can have an adverse effect on performance)

There is a known issue with xdebug that can affect Magento installations or access to the storefront or Admin after installation. For details, see Known issue with xdebug.
