+System Requirements
+-------------------
+Apache NiFi can run on something as simple as a laptop, but it can also be clustered across many enterprise servers. The hardware and memory you need will depend on the size and nature of the dataflow you are running. NiFi has the following system requirements:
+
+* Requires Java 7
+* Supported Operating Systems:
+** Linux
+** Unix
+** Windows
+** Mac OS X
+* Supported Web Browsers:
+** Internet Explorer 9+ (see note below)
+** Mozilla FireFox 24+
+** Google Chrome 36+
+** Safari 8
+
+Note that there is a known issue in Internet Explorer (IE) 10 and 11 that can cause problems when moving items on the NiFi graph. If you encounter this problem, we suggest using a browser other than IE. This known issue is described here: https://connect.microsoft.com/IE/Feedback/Details/1050422.
