This guide covers installing the prerequisites for Frona development on Linux. Once done, continue to the Project Setup page.

Install a container runtime ​

Frona's development wrapper supports Podman and Docker, preferring Podman when both are installed.

Podman ​

Install Podman and its Compose provider using your distribution's packages. Package names vary by distribution; verify the installation with:

bash
podman --version
podman compose version

Docker ​

Install Docker and Docker Compose using your distribution's package manager. For example on Ubuntu/Debian:

bash
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install docker.io docker-compose-v2
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

Log out and back in for the group change to take effect.

Install mise ​

bash
curl https://mise.run | sh

Then add mise to your shell profile:

bash
# For bash
echo 'eval "$(~/.local/bin/mise activate bash)"' >> ~/.bashrc

# For zsh
echo 'eval "$(~/.local/bin/mise activate zsh)"' >> ~/.zshrc

Next step ​

Continue to Project Setup to clone and run Frona.
