h1. Preamble

A development installation is an installation that is not suitable for production use.

We recommend to use the ZIP archive to install Petals ESB Registry in a development mode.

By default, Petals ESB Registry is configured to work as a cluster composed of only one member, on localhost (it cannot be managed from a remote machine through JMX). This configuration is not recommended for a production use where at least two members is required for high availability reasons.

h1. System Requirements

System requirements are less strict for development than for production.
In particular, in addition to the operating system that are mentioned in the [production requirements|Petals ESB Registry Production Requirements], the following ones can be used:
* Windows (XP, Vista, 7).
* Mac OS X.

h1. Hardware Requirements

For testing and development purpose:
* 2 GHz\+ CPU or equivalent
* 256MB of RAM for Petals ESB Registry
* 100 Mbits/s network interface
* 50 MB of disk for Petals

h1. Installation

As explained above, by default Petals ESB Registry requires almost no configuration.
Follow the procedure to [install Petals ESB Regsitry from a ZIP archive|Installing Petals ESB Registry using the ZIP archive].
