Installing GMS<\/span><\/h1><\/div><\/div><\/div>

BEFORE YOU BEGIN:<\/strong> This page was designed as a step by step guide to get you started using GMS 7.10<\/p>\n

Special Olympics International has created a more detailed guide for different types of installation scenarios. While the instructions below should suffice for most installations, if you would like to review this document please click on this link.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

1 <\/strong> System Requirements<\/span><\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Windows XP and newer can run GMS with minimal problems. However, we recommend Windows 7 and newer, with an Intel i5 processor, 4GB RAM, and at least 128GB of hard drive space.<\/p>\n

GMS is not compatible with Apple OSX. If you wish to run GMS on a Mac, emulation must be performed (i.e. Bootcamp).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
