Install

Pick your platform, or take the whole stack in one command.

Whole system (Linux host)

World server, broker, reading room, self-hosted login, HTTPS, and the indexing agent, wired together. No DNS setup required.

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/latebit-io/demarkus/main/install-stack.sh | sudo bash

Linux

One-line install. Sets up a systemd service plus the server and client binaries (CLI, TUI, MCP).

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/latebit-io/demarkus/main/install.sh | sudo bash

Full Linux guide →, including Let’s Encrypt TLS and the read-only chroot install.

Windows (WSL2)

Demarkus runs inside WSL2. Same install script as Linux, run from your WSL2 shell.

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/latebit-io/demarkus/main/install.sh | sudo bash

Full Windows guide →, covering WSL2 setup and systemd enablement.

Docker

Multi-arch image (linux/amd64, linux/arm64, linux/arm/v7) published to GHCR on every release.

docker run -d \
  --name demarkus \
  -p 6309:6309/udp \
  -v /srv/site:/data \
  ghcr.io/latebit-io/demarkus-server:latest \
  -root /data

Full Docker guide →: TLS, docker-compose, environment config.

Client only (no server)

Skip the service setup and just install the CLI, TUI, and MCP binaries. Works on macOS, Linux, and WSL2:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/latebit-io/demarkus/main/install.sh | bash -s -- --client-only

Use this if you only want to browse remote servers like mark://soul.demarkus.io.
