Download

You can download Parametric Robot Control from the Download section of our licensing system.

We provide Parametric Robot Control in three versions (Windows, macOS, and a Developer build that can be run on all .NET platforms). For most users, we suggest downloading the most recent version of Parametric Robot Control.At the moment, no stable release is available as PRC is in heavy development.The Manual Download section contains the most recent releases as well as an archive of older installers. If you require a specific version, contact us. Please refer to prc.robotsinarchitecture.org for support.

Every version is available in three formats. An .EXE file for Windows users, a .DMG file for macOS users, and a .ZIP file for developers who do not need an installer.

Please refer to the 📁Installation section for details.

System requirements:

The Server is using NET10. The runtime is included in all releases from now on. Only the developer version requires the runtime to be installed via Download .NET (Linux, macOS, and Windows).

The Grasshopper plugin is targeting NET8. Therefore, it is only compatible with Rhino 8 with SR19 and upwards. If the “PRC Preview” tab is not showing up in Grasshopper, run the SetDotNetRuntime command in Rhino and select NETCore with v8 for NET8. Then restart Rhino.

PRC has been tested on Windows 11 and macOS 15 (M1 CPU or better). In general, all key features work on macOS, however some comfort features are missing (e.g. long-lasting certificates, autostarting the server…) Windows 7/8 and macOS 12 and below are not compatible with NET10. On macOS, PRC requires a M1 or newer CPU with ARM architecture. The developer version has been used successfully on Linux and Intel-based macOS devices - but it is not tested thoroughly.
