Prerequisites

Linux server

• CPU architecture: amd64 / x86_64.
• OS: Ubuntu 24.04, Debian 13, Rocky Linux 9, AlmaLinux 9, or RHEL 9.
• The server can use sudo and reach packages.githubim.com.
• Your computer can sign in to the server over SSH.

Check the server:

uname -m
. /etc/os-release && echo "$PRETTY_NAME"
curl --version
sudo -v

Required ports

The quick start accesses these ports only through the server itself, so you do not need to expose them to the internet. A remote browser uses SSH forwarding; only SSH must be reachable.

The package creates /etc/wukongim, /var/lib/wukongim, and /var/log/wukongim. When ready, start the single-node cluster.
