Frequently Asked Questions

? Is RosarioSIS hard to install?

Installation is straightforward with Docker (pre-built images for quick setup) or requires basic LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) knowledge. Step-by-step guides in the documentation simplify both methods for admins.

? Is it a good alternative to PowerSchool?

Yes—for schools prioritizing data control and open-source flexibility. It covers core SIS features but lacks some advanced enterprise tools (like large-scale analytics) found in PowerSchool.

? Is it completely free?

Yes! RosarioSIS is licensed under GPLv2, so it’s free to download, self-host, modify, and use. Costs may only apply to hosting (server/cloud) or optional custom development services.
