Introduction

We offer two ways to use PrizmDoc Server:

• Docker - We recommend using our Docker solution over any specific Linux platform to simplify your PrizmDoc Viewer deployment and maintenance.
• Traditional Linux Platform - If you prefer to use a non-Docker method, this section provides information about the system requirements for PrizmDoc Server when using the PrizmDoc Viewer Self-Hosted installation.

NOTE: PrizmDoc Viewer is only supported on 64-bit operating systems.

PrizmDoc Server

PrizmDoc Server is a suite of RESTful APIs that control document conversion processes. It requires significant memory and processing power.

Supported Operating Systems

For the traditional Linux platform (self-hosted install), we support the following:

• CentOS 6, 7

NOTE: Support for CentOS 6 is deprecated with the release of PrizmDoc Viewer v13.14, as CentOS End of Lifetime was announced for November 30th, 2020.

• Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, 7
• Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, 18.04 LTS
