# System Requirements

Twitter Connector can be installed as part of a larger system that includes an IDOL Server and an interface for the information stored in IDOL Server. To maximize performance, Micro Focus recommends that you install IDOL Server and the connector on different machines.

For information about the minimum system requirements required to run IDOL components, including Twitter Connector, refer to the IDOL Getting Started Guide.

## Connector Machine

The clock on the machine hosting the connector must be correct for OAuth authentication to work successfully. Micro Focus recommends that you synchronize the system clock with a time server.
