# System Requirements

## Minimum requirements

| Requirement          | Details                                                          |
| -------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Operating system** | macOS 15 (Sequoia) or later                                      |
| **Architecture**     | Apple Silicon (M1 or newer) — Intel Macs are no longer supported |
| **RAM**              | 8 GB recommended                                                 |
| **Disk**             | \~100 MB for the app, plus space for your project files          |
| **Internet**         | Required for agent runtimes and Pentagon's cloud sync            |

## Software dependencies

| Dependency             | Why it's needed                                                                                                                                  |
| ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Git**                | Required — every agent that touches a git repo gets its own clone and branch                                                                     |
| **A coding-agent CLI** | Required — one of [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/install) or [Codex](https://github.com/openai/codex). You can install both and pick per agent. |

See [Agent Runtimes](/agents/runtimes) for runtime details and installation commands.

## Performance notes

* Each active agent runs its own coding-agent CLI process. Running 5+ agents simultaneously is normal; performance depends on your machine and your provider's rate limits.
* Pentagon itself is lightweight — the heavy work happens in the CLI processes.
