System requirements
Last updated: September 2, 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 17 is the minimum required version. Our team regularly tests on Java 17 and 21, and Liquibase ships with Java 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.
