{% hint style="info" %}
Ensure that your system is up-to-date before proceeding with the installation.
{% endhint %}

Currently, we only support **AMD64**/**x86\_64** CPU architectures.

### Network requirements

There are a few prerequisites and things you’ll need before the installation:

* Temporary open port **8081**. The installation will temporarily boot up a server on port 8081 to enable a web-based installation.
* Permissions: sudo privileges are necessary for executing installation commands.
* We require internet access during the installation procedure.
