# Requirements – LumiScan Annotation Web

## Server

|   |   |
| --- | --- |
| Operating system | Windows 11 or Ubuntu 24.04 (64 bit) |
| Storage | Disk space for the images and annotation files. The database (accounts, history, notes) must be on a **local disk** of the server, not on a network share. The project folders may be on a share. |
| Network | One TCP port for the browsers, default `8080`. HTTPS by default (self-signed certificate, your own certificate or a reverse proxy such as nginx or IIS). |
| Optional | Access to the company directory (LDAP/LDAPS) or to an OpenID Connect provider for sign-in; access to an S3 store for projects in buckets. |

## Users

- A current version of Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge or Mozilla Firefox.
- Recommended: a screen of 1280 × 800 pixels or more and a mouse with a wheel. On smaller screens the panels are stacked.
- Nothing to install.

## Box suggestion service (optional)

|   |   |
| --- | --- |
| Operating system | Ubuntu 24.04, Windows 11 or macOS |
| Software | Python 3.12 (the installers set up everything else) |
| Hardware | An NVIDIA GPU (CUDA 11.8 or 12) is recommended. On Windows any DirectX 12 GPU works for your ONNX networks; Apple Silicon works on macOS. A CPU works too, but suggestions then take seconds per image. |
| Networks | Your trained networks as exported by LumiScan Training (`network.onnx` and `network_description.json`) |

See [Box Suggestion Service](https://docs.hdvisionsystems.com/en/lumiscan-annotation-web/2.2.0/box-suggestion-service.html).
