Minimum Hardware Specifications

- Memory (RAM): 8 GB or higher (4 GB is the absolute minimum, but not recommended for kiosk/shared use)

Other Important Requirements
- Internet Connection: Stable and persistent, for real-time operation.
- Local User Profile: On Windows, use a local profile (not roaming).
- Accurate System Time: Device time must be correct and synced, as time clock records use this.
