• Minimum requirements are the minimum hardware your computer must have in order to install Tableau Server. If your computer does not meet these requirements, the Setup program will not install Tableau Server. These requirements are appropriate for testing and prototyping.
• Minimum recommendations are higher than minimum requirements, and represent the minimum hardware configuration you should use for a production installation of Tableau Server. If your computer meets the minimum requirements but does not meet these recommendations, the setup program will warn you but you can continue the installation.

Minimum Hardware Requirements

The computer on which you are installing or upgrading Tableau Server must meet the minimum hardware requirements. If the setup program determines that your computer does not meet the following requirements, you will not be able to install Tableau Server.

For more information on how the Setup program determines hardware, see Determining Computer Hardware.

These minimum requirements are appropriate for a computer that you use for prototyping and testing of Tableau Server. They apply to single-node installations and to each computer in a distributed installation.

For one user

----> appropriate for a computer that you use for prototyping and testing of Tableau Server.

It should be OK for your requirement since I don't think there will be a load problem here

Hi Parker,

   You should be able to get it up an running but I wouldn't do a demo with those specs. That's like having a Ferrari with no tires and trying to demonstrate how fast it goes. If that's the only machine available consider spinning up a virtual instance:

Just remember minimum requirements = minimum performance...
