a Supported versions indicate that ENVI was either built on (the lowest version listed) or tested on that version. You can install and run ENVI on other versions that are binary-compatible with those listed.
b The IDL Workbench on Macintosh OS X requires Java 1.6. The Apple X11 X-Windows manager is required for Macintosh. If X11 is not already installed, install it from the Mac OS X installation disk.
Note: ENVI Classic is supported on all of these platforms in addition to Solaris SPARC (version 10) 64-bit systems.
For optimal performance, your video card should have a minimum of 1 GB RAM and should support OpenGL 2.0 or later. Also be sure to install the latest drivers for your video card.
