Environment Requirements	Learn how to install bash and curl on Linux machines which are environment requirements for running the Install Doctor quick start one-liner script.	Requirements	/getting-started/requirements

Install Doctor has a minimal set of requirements since it is, by nature, a batteries-included provisioning script / framework. However, on some devices there may be some initial legwork required.

Linux

On Linux, you need bash and curl installed. These are required since they are utilized by the one-line kickstarter script:

bash <(curl -sSL https://install.doctor/start)

Arch Linux

pacman -Syu bash curl

CentOS / Fedora

sudo dnf install -y bash curl

Debian / Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install -y bash curl

macOS

macOS has no special requirements.

Qubes

To provision Qubes, it is important that you begin the provisioning process from a dom0 terminal session if you want to utilize the one-line kickstarter script:

qvm-run --pass-io sys-firewall "curl -sSL https://install.doctor/qubes" > ~/setup.sh && bash ~/setup.sh

Windows

The Windows 11 requires elevated administrator privileges so when you first run the one-line setup script, you should preferrably run it from an Administrator PowerShell terminal window.
