The hardware requirements below give a rough estimate of the minimum hardware setup needed for a Plone server.

A single Plone installation is able to run many Plone sites.

- Installation of the Plone backend and Classic UI frontend requires a minimum of 256 MB of RAM and 2GB of disk swap space.
- Installation of the Volto frontend requires a minimum of 2GB of RAM.
- After installation, running Plone requires a minimum of 256 MB RAM and 512 MB of disk swap space per Plone site.
2 GB or more RAM per Plone site is recommended.
- Minimum 512 MB hard disk space is required.
40 GB or more hard disk space is recommended.


````{warning}
{term}`Add-on` products and caching solutions may also increase RAM and disk swap space requirements.
To avoid RAM and disk swap limitations, we recommend either temporarily resizing your remote machine to accommodate the build, or build your images locally and upload them to an image store, such as [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/) or [GitHub Packages](https://github.com/features/packages).
```{seealso}

Installing Python is beyond the scope of this documentation.
However, it is recommended to use a Python version manager, {term}`pyenv`, that allows you to install multiple versions of Python on your development environment without destroying your system's Python.
% TODO: uncomment this line after upgrading to plone-sphinx-theme and latest Sphinx which supports replacements inside includes.
% Plone requires Python version {SUPPORTED_PYTHON_VERSIONS}.

Plone requires Python version 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, or 3.12.

# Create a project with Classic UI (stable release)

This chapter describes how you can create a web application using the current **stable release** version of Plone with **Classic UI** for the frontend, while having full control over its development and deployment.

```{seealso}
For other installation options, see {doc}`/install/index`.
```


## System requirements

Plone 6 has both hardware requirements and software pre-requisites.
stevepiercy marked this conversation as resolved.
Show resolved Hide resolved


### Hardware requirements

```{include} /_inc/_hardware-requirements.md
```

### Pre-requisites for installation

```{include} ../volto/contributing/install-operating-system.md
```

- Python {SUPPORTED_PYTHON_VERSIONS}
- {term}`pipx`
- {term}`GNU make`
- {term}`Git`


#### Python

```{include} /_inc/_install-python.md
```


#### pipx

Install {term}`pipx`.

```shell
pip install pipx
```


#### Make

```{include} ../volto/contributing/install-make.md
```


#### Git

```{include} ../volto/contributing/install-git.md
```


## Generate the project

After satisfying the pre-requisites, generate the project.

```shell
pipx run cookieplone backend_addon
```

You will be presented with a series of prompts.
You can accept the default values in square brackets (`[default-option]`) by hitting the {kbd}`Enter` key, or enter your preferred values.
For ease of documentation, we will use the default values.

```{tip}
See the cookiecutter's README for how to [Use options to avoid prompts](https://github.com/collective/cookiecutter-plone-starter/?tab=readme-ov-file#use-options-to-avoid-prompts).
```

```{important}
For {guilabel}`Project Slug`, you must not use any of the Plone core package names listed in [`constraints.txt`](https://dist.plone.org/release/6.0-latest/constraints.txt).
Note that pip normalizes these names, so `plone.volto` and `plone-volto` are the same package.
```

```console
% pipx run cookieplone backend_addon

## Install the project

Change to your project directory.

```shell
cd collective.addon
```

To install the project's dependencies, use the following command.

```shell
make install
```

This will take a few minutes.
When the process completes successfully, it will exit with no message.


## Start Plone

To start Plone, issue the following command.

```shell
make start
```

The Plone backend server starts up and emits messages to the console.

```console
