For a test environment you can handle a single node with 1GB ram and a single CPU. It won't be the fastest cluster ever but it will run and give you an idea of how much speed you can get

I'd recommend Ubuntu Linux, but you can also install it on Mac or Windows: [Installing Elasticsearch | Elasticsearch Guide [7.13] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/install-elasticsearch.html)
