Workspace Upgrade Requirements

Anypoint Studio creates workspaces in which you can create and group your projects. By default, the first time you open Studio, it creates a default workspace and holds all your projects in it. Your Mule application projects might not be fully compatible with workspaces created by a different version of Studio.

Projects created using Studio 6.x.x are not compatible with Studio 7 because they are Mule 3 projects.

See Update Workspaces for more information.

Hardware Requirements

  • 8GB of memory.
    MuleSoft recommends a minimum of 4GB of free RAM available on a developer workstation. As applications become complex, consider adding more RAM.

  • 2GHz CPU.

  • 10GB free hard drive space.

Software Requirements

  • Studio bundles two different JDKs:

    • Adoptium Eclipse Temurin OpenJDK 11 (11.0.15+10)
      JDK 11 starts and runs Studio and the Mule runtime instance used for tooling.

    • Adoptium Eclipse Temurin OpenJDK 8 (8u332-b09)
      JDK 8 is the default JRE for running Mule projects.

      You can configure Studio to start using your preferred JDK version by following the Configure Studio to Use Your Own JDK steps.

      This version of Studio is not compatible with Java 9 or Java 10.

  • Operating Systems

    • macOS 10.15.0 through 12.4

    • Windows 10 (64-bit)

    • RHEL 8.3

    • Ubuntu 18.04 or later LTS

Running real-time antivirus protection software on your operating system might have a negative impact on Anypoint Studio performance. Although this issue is prominent on Windows, it also occurs on Linux and macOS.

Although the steps to solve these performance issues vary depending on your antivirus software, a typical solution is to either allow or exclude the Anypoint Studio and java executables, the Studio install and workspace filesystem locations, or some combination of both. See examples of solutions for McAfee Viruscan, Windows Defender, and Symantec Endpoint Protection.

As Studio cannot run natively on ARM processors, it creates a translation layer to operate. For example, Studio runs through the Apple Rosetta II translation layer.
