OZEKI 10 Software Requirements

Ozeki 10 has both software and hardware requirements. Read about the operating system and browser requirements of Ozeki 10 on the page, since the only software you will need for running the Ozeki 10 server is a Windows or Linux based operating system, including Android, and the software to use the Ozeki client on, is a webbrowser. All webbrowsers are accepted.

Ozeki 10 Software Requirements

You will need a supported operating system to install the service plus a webbrowser client to login to your Ozeki 10 server.

Windows

Windows 7 and above are supported by Ozeki 10, since these operating systems have Microsoft .NET framework 4.5.2 installed as default, but as time passes newer frameworks will be supported. The Ozeki 10 install package contains the framework if it is not installed already.

Linux

On Linux you can use the command shell as a root user to install Ozeki 10 and start the service. You will have to install the latest Mono Framework and the required dependencies, which include libturbojpeg, libspeexdsp1, libportaudio2, fonts-symbola and xvfb packages. To use the Ozeki client GUI, you should log in from a webbrowser. Use the same techniques for all Linux installations, including the Raspbian and the Asus TinkerOS.

Raspberry OS

In other words, Raspbian, is a Linux distribution designed for Raspberry Pi. It can be installed by using a similar method as described above. The only difference is that you will need a different device to use the client GUI. Start the Ozeki 10 service on your Raspbian. This way you can reach it from any webbrowser by typing the IP address and port 9505 to the search bar.

Asus TinkerOS

It is pre-installed on all ASUS Tinker Boards. What you should know about the board is that it has a similar architecture as a Raspberry Pi. Although the ASUS board has a faster Quad Core CPU and bigger RAM capacity then the Raspberry Pi. TinkerOS is a Linux distribution, which means you can install Ozeki 10 by using the same techniques described for Linux.

Android

Yes, you can run your Ozeki 10 server on your Android smartphone. This means that besides you, all Ozeki 10 clients can log onto your service from a webbrowser. All Android version starting from 5.0 Lollipop are supported. You can download the APK file from www.ozeki.hu and install it.

Chrome

Chrome is used by half the world's population that surfs the web. Which means that all corporations including Ozeki is determined to support their products through Chrome. It can easily detect your devices like microphones, speaker, gamepads or orientation sensors. All browsers should fully support your devices, although it is highly suggested to use Chrome, since it has the most up to date support and the best performance with Ozeki 10. Chrome can be installed on any operating system, including Apple IOS and Linux. Search the internet to find the installation package for your OS. You can choose from 32 bit to 64 bit packages.

Embedded Chromium

The Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF) is an open source framework for embedding a web browser engine based on the Chromium core. It is designed to embed a Chrome browser solution in your own products, which makes it a successful idea to integrate. The opportunities are wide, since you can build robots through Embedded Chromium.

Android browser

Check the Play Store to find the browser of your dreams. Ozeki works on all. It cannot be simpler then walking on the street, checking your device connections for information. If Ozeki 10 controls your house, you can check your cameras or water the garden from a remote destination. I always advise to keep in mind the IP address and port 9505, so you can log in from all browsers intalled on your Android smartphone or other computers.

Firefox

Firefox is an old player on the field and was used by billions. It has both 32 and 64 bit installation packages for Windows, Linux and IOS. It is an open source product that spread around the world before Chrome to it's position on the market. It is the 2nd recommended browser by using Ozeki 10 from a PC or a laptop. Smartphones have their own browsers integrated.

Iphone/Ipad/Safari browser

Apple devices ship with Safari. It gives you a comfortable user interface to create connection networks with Ozeki 10. All versions of Safari helps you browse the user interface. You should only provide the IP address and the 9505 port in the search bar to use Ozeki and add your first connections.

Microsoft Edge

Edge or Internet Explorer comes with your Windows operating system by default. Edge is not supported by other operating systems, unless installing a virtual machine. Basicly Linux users have no other choice, but to use Firefox or Chrome. Although Ozeki 10 can be used on Edge with limits in some JS functionalities. Enable JavaScript in Edge, so Ozeki 10 can detect the browser connections like speakers or microphones. The server based Ozeki 10 connections are fully functional by all available webbrowsers.
