Futtatókörnyezet

Futtatókörnyezet, sometimes translated as runtime environment, refers to the combination of software and hardware that a program needs to execute. It encompasses the operating system, necessary libraries, and any other supporting software components. Without the correct futtatókörnyezet, a program cannot be loaded, processed, or run by the computer.

The operating system plays a crucial role as the foundation of the futtatókörnyezet, managing resources and providing essential services. Libraries, which are collections of pre-written code, are also vital, offering functionalities that a program can utilize without needing to be rewritten. Different programming languages often require specific runtimes. For example, Java programs rely on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), while Python programs need the Python interpreter.

Beyond software, the hardware components like the processor, memory, and storage also form part of the futtatókörnyezet, providing the physical means for execution. Ensuring that the program's requirements match the available futtatókörnyezet is essential for successful deployment and operation. Mismatches can lead to errors, crashes, or the program failing to start altogether. Developers must consider the target futtatókörnyezet when building applications to ensure compatibility.
