# System requirements The client is a Java native application written in Java8, so you will need to have a suitable JRE to run it. As it's written in Java it will run on any platform where a Java8 runtime is accessible. When using the [thin client](/the-client/client.md), the required tools will have to be installed and configured. This is not required when using the [dockerized client](/the-client/the-meterian-client-dockerized.md). Please refer to the [specific section regarding your language](/languages-support/languages-intro.md) for details. As the analysis on the dependencies is performed remotely, the client will need to have access to a working internet connection, capable of reaching directly using `https` the domain `*.meterian.com`. In case you need to use proxies, see the section connecting through a proxy. We plan to release the client also in form of a native application or a Python client: if you are interested in these development please contact our [support email](mailto:support@meterian.com) to get access to our early access program. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
