What .net Framework version is required to use/import SwisPowerShell?

I have a system running an older version of the .net Framework (4.6.01586) and it is unable to import the SwisPowerShell module. An import fails with the error:

Import-Module : Could not load file or assembly 'netstandard, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,

PublicKeyToken=...' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

Is 4.7.x the minimum version? Based on the other systems in my environment, it would seem to be the case as I have no problems if the system has at least 4.7 installed.

Thanks in advance!

SwisPowerShell targets netstandard2.0 (see https://github.com/solarwinds/OrionSDK/blob/610cd2fd486e75932ef5b0ed4650a54c130c4267/Src/SwisPowerShell/SwisPowerShell.csproj#L3). See the Microsoft documentation (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/net-standard?tabs=net-standard-2-0) for the versions of the .NET Framework that are compatible. .NET Framework 4.7.2 is the oldest version that supports netstandard2.0 without caveats.
