The Njord Platform has only been tested on Windows 10 and Ubuntu 18.04, where Windows 10 is found to be by far the most stable. We therefore recommend running Windows 10, with Ubuntu 18.04 on a virtual machine for best performance. The installation guide includes instructions using VMware Workstation Player, which is free for any non-commercial applications. Alternatively, Ubuntu can be run on a separate computer, which will require some configuration of the network settings.
