2. The installation directory should have a minimum of 200 GB available on the Kyvos Manager node.

3. Hard disk of 500 GB or more is required on Query Engine nodes.

4. A user account (non-sudo) with common credentials across all nodes on which cluster needs to be deployed (credentials will be used for kyvos  cluster installation). 

5. To deploy the Kyvos cluster using password-based authentication  for service nodes, ensure that the  permissions listed here are available on all the VM instances for Linux user deploying the cluster.

6. Create below directories on all nodes with 750 permissions and make Kyvos user owner of these directories.
   ^{/data/kyvos/app
   /data/kyvos/install}

7. Increase the ulimit  of Kyvos user  on all nodes using the command:
   ^{echo kyvos hard nofile 10240 >> /etc/security/limits.conf
   echo kyvos hard nofile 10240 >> /etc/security/limits.d/20-nproc.conf
   echo kyvos soft nofile 10240 >> /etc/security/limits.conf 
   echo kyvos soft nofile 10240 >> /etc/security/limits.d/20-nproc.conf}

8. Install open-ssl on Kyvos Manager node to enable TLS using the command:

   ^{yum install openssl} 

9. Install zip command on all the nodes using the command:

   ^{yum install zip -y}

10. Install fontconfig command on all the nodes using the command:

    ^{yum install fontconfig -y}
