Minimum hardware requirements

The minimum hardware requirements for the server are depending on the number of players and simulated units and what modules used in the simulation.

Small teams 4-6 should not be a problem for a computer with the definition below.

With group size of 10-12 players a more advanced server computer is needed.

CPU: 3rd generation Intel I7/I5 (2012)
RAM: 8 GB

Folder Structure (Where to find things)

The installation creates the following folders:

<C3LEARNINGLABS-ROOT>	=	...\C3LearningLabs\
<C3FIRE-ROOT>	=	...\C3LearningLabs\C3Fire\
