Technical requirements
for using blue.project / blue.media
blue. is based on Claris’s multi-award-winning development solution, FileMaker Pro. FileMaker is a database system that has been in use worldwide since 1990 and boasts a huge developer community. You can use FileMaker on macOS, iOS and Windows operating systems, as well as take advantage of its wide range of interfaces to databases such as MySQL, SQL and Postgres, or integrate it with web solutions.
This makes it just as easy to use on a single workstation as it is in a network with 100 or more users. To ensure smooth operation, please note the following technical requirements.
As a single-user licence (Licence*1), blue. can be used locally without a server; from 2 licences onwards, a FileMaker Server is required.
