Any computer with sufficient performance and USB ports will work with PostalPoint.
Minimum PC Hardware
Intel 6th-generation i5 (or most modern x86 CPUs from the past eight years or so, excluding the extreme low end)
8GB RAM
30GB available storage on solid-state drive
Keyboard
Minimum 1024x768 display
Recommended 1280x1024 or larger touchscreen display
Recommended Software/Operating System
For full support and the best experience, we recommend Linux-based operating systems. Printers are plug-and-play with no drivers or setup required, labels and receipts print faster, and PostalPoint software updates are automatic and do not interrupt the user.
We have tested and officially support the following operating systems:
Linux Mint 22.3
Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
Debian 13
Other (and newer) Debian or Ubuntu-based operating systems should work without issues.
It should not matter which desktop environment you use. We have tested with KDE Plasma, Cinnamon, and GNOME.
Discouraged Software/Operating System
Windows is not recommended. It is slower, less secure, less reliable, and much harder to configure than Linux.
PostalPoint provides a Windows installer as a courtesy, because many people currently have Windows on their computers. Please consider moving to a secure and modern Linux operating system as soon as possible, especially if you're still on Windows 10, which has reached its end of life.
We have tested PostalPoint on Windows 10 and Windows 11.
