Requirements

To use MoR as a patron (someone who buys items), you will need:

  • A Web browser that supports HTML 5 and TLS 1.2.
  • To accept cookies.

To use MoR as a merchant (someone who manages the storefront), you will need:

  • A Web browser that supports HTML 5 and TLS 1.2.
  • To accept cookies.
  • Many features are improved if you have JavaScript enabled, and use the current version of Firefox ESR, Safari, or IE 9+. Safari on iOS 7+ and Firefox on Android are also supported, but some features may not work ideally when using mobile browsers.

To run MoR on your own server infrastructure, you will need:

  • A system capable of running Ruby on Rails, including native extensions.
    • Typically, 512 MB of available RAM (not total system RAM) is highly recommended.
    • MoR does not require much disk space itself - nominally about 100 MB - but uploaded photos, cached items, and logging may require significantly more disk space. Please plan carefully, as running out of disk space could impact the ability of patrons to place orders.
  • A PostgreSQL database server.
  • A SAML gateway for authentication.

Heavily trafficked storefronts (more than 1 request per second) may require additional resources.
