Bookmap System Requirements

These are the technical specifications required to successfully install and run Bookmap.

The following hardware and software specifications are the minimum requirements for installing and using Bookmap:

1.3.1. Bookmap for Windows

Minimum:

  • Bookmap supports 64-bit operating system only
  • Windows 8
  • Minimum of 1280x960 display resolution *
  • Minimum of 8 GB RAM and 10 GB free disk space (The application itself takes ~500MB, but the cache requires a lot more storage)
  • Intel Core i5 (or equivalent)
  • Stable internet connection with minimum speed of 2 Mbit/sec
  • A mouse with a middle button is required for the one-click trading add-on feature.
  • .NET 3.5

Recommended:

  • Windows 10
  • Minimum of 1920x1080 display resolution *
  • Video card with a minimum of 1 GB memory supporting OpenGL 3.3. Ideally, a relatively modern one (released within the last 4 years).
  • 16 GB RAM or more
  • SSD for Bookmap data folder with 100 GB of free disk space
  • Intel Core i7/AMD Ryzen 7 (or equivalent) or better. 4+ cores. **
  • Stable internet connection with speed of at least 50Mbit/s
  • A mouse with a middle button is required for the one-click trading add-on feature.
  • .NET 3.5

* Effective resolution (assuming scaling is set to 100%). For example 1920x1080 display meets the requirements with 100% display scaling, but does not meet the requirements if scaling is set to 150%, as resolution gets effectively divided by 1.5 in that case, becoming 1280x720. However you can tell system not to scale bookmap by changing "Override high DPI scaling behavior" to "Application" under "Compatibility"->"Change high DPI settings" inside bookmap shortcut properties.

** Not to confuse cores and threads. There are 2 core 4 thread CPUs marketed as Core i7 line, e.g. 7500U - those are below recommended specification.

1.3.2. Bookmap for macOS

Minimum:

  • MacOS 10.11 or higher
  • 4 GB RAM

Preferred:

  • Graphics Card

Starting from the Mac 113 build, Bookmap should start without any gatekeeper trouble.
