Generic Clients:
the generic specs needed for this modpack would be
64bits i5 processor with 2.5GHz and +
4G RAM and +
a minimum of 600Mo available on your harddrive
minimum: geforce GTX 640 (or an equivalent) and above recommended: geforce GTX 960 (or an equivalent) and above
java 8 64 bits
(you may need to manually download 64 bits java versions, the automatic installation sometimes gives 32 bits java only ( https://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp ))
Servers:
(created and fixed with a windows pc, tho it should work on every platforms)
again you will require java 8 here
you will need to accept EULA after the first start i'd also recommend leaving the basic settings for most mods except for spawn rates and world gen (you can play around with them without any troubles), if you modify any other setting you should then share these with your other friend's clients, the modpack works with cauldron tho its much slower to boot and might show some instabilities.
Have absolutely no idea how to set up a server ? try this video on youtube !

This tuto is good for every versions of minecraft (including forge, bukkit, etc.)
Linux:
The modpack was tested successfully on ubuntu 14.04 (thrusty tahr) and should work with every other versions of linux with java 8. it works well and require very little setup
if you didnt download it yet, download technic launcher for linux (a multiplatform .jar version), either copy and paste the link on this page or search for 'The Prophecies' on the launcher, put at least 2G of allocated memory and you're good to go !
(verify your graphic card pilots before playing on ubuntu, it doesnt always have the best basic video card pilots (you might get stuck at 10 fps only on vanilla minecraft without the good pilots))
Mac:
I do not own a mac and therefore I personnaly couldnt do deep tests but one of my friends assured me the modpack run really smooth on his mac computer as long as you have java 8 installed.
He also mentionned ''chocolate quest'' mod cause a crash if he trigger ''Key.pong'' (which is by default set to ''F'' but can be changed in ''controls'') but other than that everything should be fine.
Windows:
You will need to make sure you have java 8 installed afterward the rest is nothing particullar;
download the technic .exe (or .jar if you wish) and either copy and paste the link on this page or search for 'The Prophecies' on the launcher, put at least 2G of allocated memory and you're good to go !
