Hi there,

With all Droplets you do have root access, meaning that you will be able to install any packages that you need to.

You can follow the steps here on how to install Java for example:

Hope that this helps!

Best,

Hi @marcoray,

You will be able to install it however I believe you might have trouble running it as your Memory might be insufficient. You can always try and add SWAP as well to the Droplet:

However, you’ll still need a more powerful droplet I think.
