Minimum Requirements
Windows
- Windows 10 or 11
- .NET Framework 4.8 (included with Windows 11 and Windows 10 if up-to-date)
- SQL Server 2017 Express, SQL Server 2019 Express, or a commercial version
- 4GB RAM
Linux
The primary use case for Linux is to have a Raspberry Pi or an x64 distribution running 24/7 with one or more radios connected via USB-to-Serial adapters. The Linux server runs the web front-end and the radio control server. This allows for a remote, standalone server that can run 24/7. It is assumed that the main application and SQL Server run on a bona fide Windows machine or in a VM. Wine will not work.
