RocksJava Binaries

The minimum requirements for running the official RocksJava binaries from Maven Central.

For all platforms the native component of the binaries is statically linked, and so requires very little. The Java component requires OpenJDK 1.7+.

The binaries are built using Docker containers on real hardware, you can find our Docker build containers here: https://github.com/evolvedbinary/docker-rocksjava

Linux

For Linux we provide binaries built for either GNU Lib C, or Musl based platforms (since RocksJava 6.5.2).

Architecture	glibc version (minimum)	muslc version (minimum)
x86	2.12	1.1.16
x86_64	2.12	1.1.16
aarch64	2.17	1.1.16
ppc64le	2.17	1.1.16
s390x (z10)	2.17	1.1.16

macOS

• Architecture: x86_64
• OS: macOS 10.12+

Windows

• Architecture: x86_64
• OS: Windows 7+
• **libc: Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable (x64) - 14.0.24215
