Overview
The Charon-SSP Manager is the main interface for managing the emulated SPARC systems running on a Charon-SSP host. Therefore, the Charon-SSP Manager must be installed on every local system that will be used to manage the Charon instances running on the Charon-SSP cloud host.

- Versions 7.x or higher of Oracle Linux (64 bit) version, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (64 bit), or CentOS (64 bit)

Support for Charon Manager on Microsoft Windows is planned for a later date.
