System requirements
Last updated: July 14, 2025
Liquibase is designed to run with minimal hardware and software.
Liquibase tests with English language databases only. Other languages with special characters may cause issues.
Hardware
Disk space: 300 MB
Processor: Intel Core i3, ARM processor, 1 CPU
Memory: 1 GB RAM
Software
Any version of Windows, macOS, or Linux/Unix with a supported Java installation.
Java 8 is the minimum required version, although we recommend using Long-term Support (LTS) versions 11, 17, and 21. Our team regularly tests on these versions and Liquibase ships with 21.
If you use the Liquibase Installer, Java is included automatically.
If you install Liquibase manually, you must also install Java, which is available from Adoptium. If you use the Liquibase Installer, this version of Java is used during installation.
