System requirements

YourKit .NET Profiler consists of two parts: the profiler UI (a desktop application) and the profiler agent that is loaded into .NET runtime. The profiler UI and profiler agent can be run on different computers with different operating systems, and therefore they have different system requirements.

Supported .NET runtimes

.NET 5.0 - 8.0
.NET Framework 4.6.1 - 4.8.1

Requirements for the profiler agent

If your system is on the list below, then you can profile your .NET applications using the YourKit Profiler agent.

Linux

arm64, glibc 2.25 or later
arm64, musl libc 1.2.2 or later
x64, glibc 2.17 or later
x64, musl libc 1.2.2 or later

macOS

arm64, macOS 11.2 or later
x64, macOS 10.15 or later

Windows

arm64, x64, x86:

Windows 11, Windows Server 2022
Windows 10, Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2019
Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 R2
Windows 8, Windows Server 2012
Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2

Requirements for the profiler UI

CPU: any modern CPU. The profiler utilizes multithreading to perform various operations, thus data processing occurs faster the more processor cores the CPU has.
RAM: 4 GiB. The more RAM your system has, the faster the loading and analysis of data.
Disk space: 1 GiB.
Screen resolution: FullHD (1920x1080) is a minimal requirement. For comfort work we recommend to use 2K (2560x1440), or 4K (4096x2304) screens.
