Requirements

To use QSCAT, you need QGIS, which is a free and open-source Geographic Information System (GIS) software. You can download different versions of QGIS from the QGIS website (see for the versions below). Ensure that your system meets the system requirements of QGIS: a standard PC with at least 4GB of RAM running on Windows, Linux or Mac OS X.

Since QSCAT is just a plugin of QGIS (not standalone software), if you meet the system requirements of QGIS, QSCAT should run fine on your system.

QGIS versions

Currently, QSCAT is being tested on the following versions of QGIS:

• QGIS 3.22.6: Latest stable version of QGIS as of the time we started the development of QSCAT.

• QGIS 3.34.5: Latest stable version of QGIS as of the time: April 1, 2024.

• QGIS 3.36.2: Latest development version of QGIS as of the time: April 1, 2024.

Although QSCAT will probably run on any version of QGIS version 3 and above, we recommend using the versions listed above to avoid any compatibility issues.
