Compatibility

Supported Python versions

RADKit is built for and tested against Python 3.9 to 3.12 included. The Linux, Windows and macOS installers are based on Python 3.11 since RADKit 1.7.0 (previous versions up to 1.6.x were based on Python 3.9).

Note

  • Python 3.8 has reached end of life and is no longer supported since RADKit 1.7.6.

  • There are plans to add Python 3.13 support in the near future.

  • There are no plans to support Python 3.14 at the moment.

To install a supported version of Python (only required for pip installation), please refer to your operating system documentation; we strongly recommend setting up a virtual environment using a tool such as pyenv, venv or virtualenv.

Supported browsers

The RADKit Service WebUI and Client Proxy WebUI support all major browsers, including Chrome, Edge/Chromium, Safari and FireFox. We do not support nor test on browsers that are EOL, like Edge/Chakra or Internet Explorer. Please keep your browser as up-to-date as possible for both compatibility and security reasons. Despite our efforts, there might be still be minor rendering differences across browsers.

Hardware & OS requirements

Note

RADKit’s base footprint is actually pretty small. It can potentially run with less resources, and on more systems, that what is documented below. Please contact us if you would like to explore running RADKit on different platforms and/or constrained systems.
