Instructions:

License Server

If you are using floating licenses, you must set up and use an Oxygen License Server (because this is how floating licenses are designed to work with Oxygen instances). For a large number of user-based licenses (20 or more), it is highly recommended to use an Oxygen License Server (because this is the easiest way to keep track of license usage and helps comply with the Oxygen EULA).

Troubleshooting:

If your Linux distribution is using Wayland as the X server (e.g. Ubuntu 17.10, Fedora 25), the Oxygen installer run as root may fail with "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class sun.awt.X11GraphicsEnvironment". To fix this, you must first allow the root user to access the X server, by running this command (from your user account, not root) prior to running the Oxygen installer as root:
xhost +SI:localuser:root

Requirements:

Minimum hardware configuration is Intel/AMD 64-bit CPU with 2 GB of RAM (4 GB or more recommended) and 1 GB of free disk space.
Recommended hardware configuration is dual core CPU with 4 GB of RAM.

Note

The version of Java bundled with Oxygen requires X.org. Wayland is not supported.
