Requirements

Liquibase is designed to run with minimal hardware and software.
Liquibase tests with English language databases only. Other languages with special characters may cause issues.

• Disk space: 300 MB
• Processor: Intel Core i3 1 CPU
• Memory: 1 GB RAM
• Software Any version of Windows, macOS, or Linux/Unix with a supported Java installation. Java 8 is the minimum required version. If you use the Liquibase Installer, Java is included automatically.
• Database: The Liquibase CLI ships with drivers for many popular database systems in the liquibase/internal/lib directory If you are using a different database system or need to run a different version of the driver, you can download the appropriate driver from your vendor, and install it in one of two places: The lib directory of your Liquibase installation – Drivers added here will always be used by Liquibase. A liquibase_libs directory of your current working directory – Drivers added here will only be used when you are in this working directory. If you are using any Liquibase extensions, they can be added to the same directories.

Manual library management

Liquibase comes with two JAR files in liquibase/internal/lib serving as primary libraries, liquibase-core and liquibase-commercial. You need a commercial license key to access functionality for Liquibase Pro and other commercial add-ons. If you aren't using the liquibase-commercial JAR and want to exclude it from your project, navigate to liquibase/internal/lib in your command line and manually remove the file:

Linux:
rm liquibase-commercial-4.24.0.jar

Windows:
del liquibase-commercial-4.24.0.jar
