Minimum Requirements
Windows
- Windows 10 or 11
- .NET Framework 4.8.1 (included with Windows 11 and Windows 10 if up-to-date)
- SQL Server 2022 Express, SQL Server 2019 Express, or a commercial version of these releases.
- 4GB RAM
Linux
- ARM or x64 distribution
- 2GB RAM
- Specifically targeted for the Raspberry Pi 3 or 4 with Raspberry Pi OS & Ubuntu on the desktop
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, in a VM. For the adventurous, SQL Server can also run under Linux. It should work, but it has not been tested.
Quick Install or Upgrade - Windows
