- The basic installer targets Linux x86_64 with glibc 2.36+ and does not install Docker or LXD.
Field notes
Setup is a Linux x86_64 binary workflow: the installer verifies the downloaded build, creates localaws/config.json, and leaves server startup to the operator. The basic install does not add Docker or LXD; an optional browser console needs Python 3.10+ and runs at port 8080, while the AWS-compatible endpoint is at localhost:4566. The page also supplies a SHA-256 checksum and lists 26 services, from S3 and DynamoDB through CloudTrail and S3 Vectors.
