Hello there.

Depending on your OS the numbers will be a little different. On a Mac the installer says it will take 155 mb. (Wowza 4.1.0).

It would be advisable to account for at lease 200 mb for Wowza operations (VOD files, application files, etc.)

I hope this is helpful to you.

Kind regards,

Salvadore
