System requirements
Fiji is supported on the following systems:
- Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10, 11, etc.
- Mac OS X 10.8 “Mountain Lion” or later
- Linux on amd64 and x86 architectures
However, Fiji (like ImageJ) should run on any system for which a Java 8 runtime is available (Solaris, Raspbian, etc.).
- MacOS Arm64 Note: The default MacOS download should run on Arm64 via the Rosetta translator (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosetta_(software)) which may come at some performance cost. Alternatively you can install the no-JRE version which defaults to the Mac Java and will limit some native library functionality that does not yet have Arm64 support (https://forum.image.sc/t/fiji-clij-etc-native-on-apple-silicon-arm64-m1/53627/25).
Installation
Caution: “Program Files” not recommended!
If you are installing ImageJ2 on Windows, we strongly recommend that you store
your ImageJ2.app directory somewhere in your user space
(e.g., C:\Users\[your name]\ImageJ2.app) rather than in C:\Program Files or
other system-wide directory. If you move ImageJ2.app to such a directory, modern
versions of Windows will deny ImageJ2 write permission to its own directory
structure, preventing it from being able to update. See also
imagej/imagej#72.
Fiji is distributed as a portable application. That means that you do not have to run an installer; just download, unpack and start it.
