B4P Reference

Personal computer running LINUX using a common distribution (e.g. Ubuntu)
64 bit CPU (we are not supporting legacy platforms)
You have elevated privileges to do installations (e.g. allowed to run commands with 'sudo' in front)
Min 2 GB, but more memory is stronly recommended espeically when working with large data
B4P requires less than 20 MB disk space
Internet connectivity is required to access documentation, but not during normal program execution

A standard editor is sufficient for developing the code. Optionally, install a more fancy text editor program of choice to do the coding. I strongly recommend an editor supporting UNICODE.
Ensure that the Linux command wget is available. If not, then install it according to Linux-specific procedures (e.g. using apt-get install wget, commands vary among different Linux distributions)
Ensure that the Linux command zip and unzip are available. If not, then install it according to Linux-specific procedures (e.g. using apt-get install zip unzip, commands vary among different Linux distributions)
