PyRAT's Technical Requirements

Our PyRAT products will run on any Linux or Unix based server that can support the Python scripting language and the MySQL database software. We recommend an Intel or AMD based Ubuntu server with a speed greater than 2GHz and with at least 4 GB of RAM. Larger sites (>10000 live animals) may require a more powerful server.

On the client side, PyRAT can be accessed by any device (laptop, mobile, tablet, etc.) with one of the following browsers: Firefox, Chrome, Safari, or Edge.

Licenses/Support

Scionics offers several purchase options based on the needs of a facility. We offer full license purchases as well as hosted solutions for those facilities supporting a limited number of animals. Additionally, we offer service and support packages which include biannual software updates.
