The Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, and Safety (RAMS) ToolKit (RAMSTK) is an application to assist in the management and performance of various RAMS analyses. RAMSTK is similar to the PTC Windchill Quality (formerly Relex) and ReliaSoft line of products. However, unlike these proprietary software packages, RAMSTK is open-source and operates on Linux as well as Windows machines.

RAMSTK is developed on a Linux machine; running either Slackware (workstation), Mint (workstation), or Scientific (laptop) Linux. However, RAMSTK should run on any Windows version from XP to 10. That said, RAMSTK does not get the same amount of testing on Windows platforms as it does on Linux platforms.

RAMSTK is considered beta software, but the API is reasonably stable as of v0.0.0. At this point it is bug fixing and adding features within the constraints of the API. It would be great to add all the functionality envisioned for RAMSTK, but RAMSTK has been a work in progress for over 10 years and it's time to put some boundaries on the project scope.

A note on versions and tags. As part of the learning curve, v1.0 tags were pushed and releases cut. The tags have been deleted and releases yanked from PyPi. If you come across any version greater than that found in the VERSION and pyproject.toml file, it's old, broken and you shouldn't use it.
