* An x86 computer with VirtualBox installed and enough RAM capacity to be able to run a small virtual machine.
* The latest stable **YunoHost ISO image**, available [here](/images).

* It's okay if you can only have 32-bit versions, just be sure that you downloaded the 32-bit image previously.
* 256MB RAM is the minimum required, but at least 512MB is recommended (1Go or more if you can).
* 8GB storage is the minimum required for the system, add whatever is necessary for your apps.
