You can install Edge for the Private Cloud on a single host machine as part of a demo or proof of concept installation. This type of installation is referred to as an Edge "all-in-one" installation. The host machine can be a standalone machine or a VM that meets the system prerequisites listed below.

After you install Edge for the Private Cloud on the host machine, you can optionally install:

Developer Services portal on the same host machine
API BaaS on a second host machine

System requirements for Edge

The following table lists the system requirements for installing Edge on a single host machine:

Requirement	Description	Test
Access to Apigee RPM repo	Ensure access to https://software.apigee.com Ensure you received a username/password from Apigee for the repo: If you are a prospect evaluating Apigee, please contact Apigee Sales here. If you are an existing Apigee customer, please contact your Apigee representative.	curl -v https://software.apigee.com returns HTTP 200
Access to your backend services	Ensure access to your backend services	curl -v http://backend to check access to your backend services
License key	Check for an email from Apigee with license key attached	Ensure license key deployed to host machine
OS Version	Supported OS version as listed at Supported software and supported versions.	cat /etc/redhat-release returns the OS version
Java version	Supported Java versions: Oracle JDK 1.8 OpenJDK 1.8	java -version returns the installed Java version If required Java version not found, Edge installer downloads and installs it.
CPU cores	2 minimum	lscpu returns number of CPUs cat /proc/cpuinfo returns CPU Information
RAM	8 GB minimum	cat /proc/meminfo returns memory information
Diskspace	100 GB minimum	df -h returns the disk space. df -h /opt returns the disk space for /opt, the Edge install directory
Hostname	Hostname set to IP address of host	hostname -i returns the IP address of host
Network	External Internet access required. For RedHat OS, access to RHEL yum repository.	yum repolist returns available repos. For RedHat, check the availability of repos from /etc/yum.repos.d/redhat-rhui.repo
ports, iptables, firewalld	Ensure that ports 8080, 9000, 9001, and 9002 can accept incoming packets.	This requirement is dependent on your OS and OS configuration. There are several commands you can use to view the current settings: iptables -nvL Linux 6.x: service iptables status Linux 7.x: sysctl firewalld status If necessary, you can stop iptables or firewalld
SELinux	Disable SELinux, or set it to permissive mode, during install. Re-enable after install if necessary	Temporarily set SELinux to permissive mode: On a Linux 6.x operating system: echo 0 > /selinux/enforce To re-enable after installing Edge: echo 1 > /selinux/enforce On a Linux 7.x operating system: setenforce 0 To re-enable after installing Edge: setenforce 1 To permanently disable SELinux, see Install the Edge apigee-setup utility.
