Frequently asked questions
Requirements
- Windows 10 version 1809 (October 2018 Update) or later, or Windows 11, 64-bit (x64). On ARM-based Windows 11 PCs it runs through Windows x64 emulation.
- 4 GB RAM (8 GB recommended), about 200 MB of free disk space, and a screen of 1280 × 720 or higher.
- Installed from the Microsoft Store. No administrator rights are needed.
- Windows 7, 8 and 8.1, and 32-bit Windows, are not supported by the Store app.
Additional
- Everything else is built in: the app includes its own local web server and PHP 8. You don’t need to install WAMP, XAMPP or PHP, and nothing has to run on port 80.
- Microsoft Edge WebView2 (part of Windows 11 and up-to-date Windows 10) and the Visual C++ runtime are installed with Windows or by the Store automatically.
- Your dashboards and files are saved in your Windows user profile (the app’s own folder in AppData). Uninstalling the app removes them, so back up anything you want to keep first.
- A current browser such as Chrome, Edge or Firefox, for viewing exported dashboards.
