System requirements
The minimum system requirements for FortiClient EMS are:
-
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Server and Desktop
- No additional installed services
- 2.0 GHz 64-bit processor, six virtual CPUs (6 vCPU)
- 8 GB RAM (10 GB RAM or more is recommended)
- 80 GB free hard disk
- Gigabit (10/100/1000baseT) Ethernet adapter
-
Installing EMS requires an active internet connection. During installation, EMS also tries to download information about FortiClient signature updates from FortiGuard.
- For the language to install and time and currency format, select English (United States). For the keyboard or input method, select US.
Considering the ease that virtualization offers, installing EMS and PostgreSQL on virtual machines (VM) is recommended. You may save VM checkpoints or snapshots before major operating system, application, or configuration changes.
|
You should only install FortiClient EMS and the default services for the operating system on the server. You should not install additional services on the same server as FortiClient EMS. Unnecessary services may cause port conflicts and issues during upgrades, and interrupt EMS functionality. |

Installing and running EMS on a domain controller is not supported. |
