## Requirements
**Management computer OS: Linux** (Ubuntu / Debian recommended — Raspberry Pi OS works perfectly)
The setup script uses `apt`, `systemd`, `picocom`, and Docker. It will not run on Mac or Windows. The management computer does not need a monitor — a headless Raspberry Pi or thin client is ideal. Once running, the web UI is accessible from any browser on any device on your network.
The switch UI itself (the browser interface) works from any OS — phone, tablet, Mac, Windows, Linux.
