Installation guides
Two products, two guides. Each one is written to be followed once, top to bottom, by somebody who has not seen the software before.
- Linux
- Pterodactyl
- systemd
- Self-hosted
VorqulBOT installs in about ten minutes: create a Discord application, enable the presence, server members and message content intents, then deploy on a Debian or Ubuntu server with Node.js 22 LTS (18 or newer works), or on Pterodactyl using the included egg. VorqulPanel installs in 15 to 30 minutes on a clean Debian 12, Ubuntu 22.04 or newer, or AlmaLinux 9 server with root access, Java 17 and 2 GB of RAM. Neither needs a container runtime, and neither sends telemetry once running.
Install VorqulBOT
Step-by-step VorqulBOT installation: create the Discord application, enable the three privileged intents, then deploy on a clean Debian or Ubuntu server with Node.js 22, npm and systemd, or on Pterodactyl with the included egg.

Before you start
Both guides assume you have a server and root on it. What each product costs, what it deliberately does not do and who it is a poor fit for are answered separately.
