Software Frameworks
- .Net Framework – 4.8.1 Download
note
Our software requires .NET Framework 4.8.1 to take advantage of important fixes that improve stability and address certain issues. While these updates do not impact core functionality, they help improve the user experience by addressing certain usability-related issues. However, recognizing that some operating systems only support .NET Framework 4.8, we have ensured that our software remains functional on those versions. If you use an OS that supports .NET Framework 4.8.1, we strongly recommend upgrading to this version for an improved experience. For environments where only .NET Framework 4.8 is available, users may encounter minor issues that can typically be resolved through simple workarounds. Please refer to Microsoft's official documentation for more details on OS compatibility: System Requirements for .NET Framework 4.8.1
- Microsoft VC++ Redistributables (both x64 and x86) - Version 2017 and above. Download
- Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime Download
Python
You should install Python on the system to utilize some of the Machine Learning activities. You can follow the Python Installation instructions to download, install, and configure Python on your system.
