+This guide describes the installation and configuration of akkoma (and the required software to run it) on a single OpenBSD 7.2 server.
For any additional information regarding commands and configuration files mentioned here, check the man pages [online](https://man.openbsd.org/) or directly on your server with the man command.
To install them, run the following command (with doas or as root):
```
-pkg_add elixir gmake git postgresql-server postgresql-contrib cmake ffmpeg ImageMagick
+pkg_add elixir gmake git postgresql-server postgresql-contrib cmake ffmpeg erlang-wx libmagic
+pkg_add erlang-wx # Choose the latest version as package version when promted
```
Akkoma requires a reverse proxy, OpenBSD has relayd in base (and is used in this guide) and packages/ports are available for nginx (www/nginx) and apache (www/apache-httpd). Independently of the reverse proxy, [acme-client(1)](https://man.openbsd.org/acme-client) can be used to get a certificate from Let's Encrypt.
To install the above:
```
-pkg_add ImageMagick ffmpeg p5-Image-ExifTool
+pkg_add ffmpeg p5-Image-ExifTool
```
