# The Basics

Before installing, make sure your device meets the following requirements:

* 📱 **Device RAM**: You need a phone or iPad with **more than 4GB of RAM**
* 🧠 **iOS Version**: Must be on **iOS 16 or newer**
* ✅ **Certificate**: A **paid certificate** is required
  * Free or enterprise certs won’t work due to missing entitlements
  * We recommend buying from our trusted partner: [**DxSign**](https://dxsign.cc/)
