Prerequisites or System Requirements for AutomatR Bot

Before deploying AutomatR Bots, it's essential to ensure that your system meets the necessary prerequisites and system requirements to run AutomatR automation effectively. The specific requirements may vary depending on the AutomatR product, version, and the complexity of your automation workflows. However, here are some common prerequisites and system requirements:

1. Operating System: AutomatR supports Windows as the primary operating system. Ensure that your machine is running a compatible version of Windows. Windows 10 is a commonly used choice.

2. Hardware Requirements: The hardware requirements can vary based on the complexity of your automation. As a general guideline, consider the following:

   • Processor: A multi-core processor (at least 2 cores).
   • RAM: A minimum of 4GB RAM, but 8GB or more is recommended for better performance.
   • Storage: Sufficient free disk space for the installation and storage of automation projects and data.

3. .NET Framework: AutomatR requires the .NET Framework to run. Ensure that you have the required .NET version installed on your machine. AutomatR may support multiple .NET versions, depending on the product version.

4. Software Requirements: Make sure you have the necessary software installed on your system:

   • AutomatR Studio: The design tool for creating automation workflows.
   • AutomatR Bot: The component that executes automation processes.
   • AutomatR Orchestrator: The web portal for central management and scheduling platform for bots.

5. Web Browsers: If your automation involves web interactions, ensure you have the supported web browsers installed, and they are up-to-date. Commonly supported browser - Google Chrome.

6. Virtual Machine (VM) Considerations: If you plan to run AutomatR Bots on virtual machines, ensure that the VMs meet the same hardware and software requirements as physical machines.

7. Permissions and Access: You need administrative or elevated permissions on the machine to install and configure AutomatR products. Additionally, ensure that the bot has access to the applications and systems it will interact with during automation.

8. Internet Connectivity (for licensing): While AutomatR can work offline, it may require occasional internet connectivity for licensing and updates.

9. AutomatR Product Version: Verify that your AutomatR products (Studio and Bot) are compatible and at the same version to ensure seamless integration and performance.

10. Security and Firewall Settings: Adjust firewall settings to allow the necessary network access for AutomatR products. This includes connectivity to AutomatR Orchestrator (if used) and external applications.

It's important to consult the official AutomatR documentation and system requirements documentation for the specific version you are using, as requirements may change with updates and releases. Additionally, consider the hardware and software requirements based on the scale and complexity of your automation projects, as larger and more complex processes may demand more resources.

By meeting these prerequisites and system requirements, you'll ensure a smooth installation and operation of AutomatR Bots, whether you're working on simple data entry tasks or more complex and resource-intensive automation processes.
