PPML Installation
OS requirement
.. note::
**Hardware requirements**:
Intel SGX: PPML's features (except Homomorphic Encryption) are mainly built upon Intel SGX. Intel SGX requires Intel CPU with SGX feature, e.g., IceLake (3rd Xeon Platform). `Check if your CPU has SGX feature <https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000028173/processors.html>`_
.. note::
**Supported OS**:
PPML is thoroughly tested on Ubuntu (18.04/20.04), and should works fine on CentOS/Redhat 8.
Enable SGX for your Cluster

FAQs
-
Is SGX supported on CentOS 6/7? No. Please upgrade your OS if possible.
-
Do we need Internet connection for SGX node? No. We can use PCCS for registration and certificates downloading. Only PCCS need Internet connection.
-
Does PCCS requires SGX? No. PCCS can be installed on any server with Internet connection.
-
Can we turn off attestation? Of course. But, urnning off attestation will break integrity provided by SGX. Attestation is turned off to simplify installation for quick start.
