Lucid Player FAQs

Yes, the Lucid Player can run from a Hard Drive, USB, CD\DVD or a web server. If the key has been deployed via the Lucid Mobile Platform, then it can also run from Android and iOS devices.

Note: If a key author has posted a key via their web server, not as a downloadable file, then the key is set to run from the website. That is it won’t run off your hard drive or run while you don’t have an internet connection.

The key author may have also connected some or all of the keys media to a website(s), even though it maybe running from your hard hard, for example. In this case the key will operate from the hard drive without an internet connection, but the Internet based media will fail to load if you don’t have an Internet connection. If in doubt consult the key author on their keys configuration and requirements.

Yes. See the System requirements FAQ for more details.

Lucid Builder

The Lucid Builder requires the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) to work.

Java enables the Lucid Builder to run on any operating system that’s supports the JRE. E.g. Windows, OSX, Linux and Solaris.

There are two JRE’s to choose from:

• Oracle Java – Requires a licence, but free to download from https://www.java.com; Or;
• OpenJDK (Opensource edition of Java), free from https://adoptopenjdk.net/.
  Tip: It’s normally best to download the latest edition.

Lucid requires very little memory and hard disk space, though your key data may require more!

• Hard drive space: 75MB
• RAM: 128MB

The actual space taken up may vary slightly depending on operating system and installed options.

If you need more specifics on supported operating systems, please check the preferred JRE website (as shown above) for their system requirements.
