### System requirements
To run Envoy, you have to install a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) of at least version 11.
You can download an open source implementation from [here](https://jdk.java.net/15/).
If you are running a Linux distribution, make sure that an emoji font like [Noto emoji](https://github.com/googlefonts/noto-emoji) is installed.
Most major Linux distributions like Debian, Arch and Gentoo have a Noto emoji package available inside their package repositories.
## Server Administrator
To set up an Envoy server, download the package from the release page.
Because the project lacks external documentation for the moment, please refer to the Javadoc inside the source code to configure your Envoy instance.
### System requirements
To run Envoy server, you have to install a JRE as mentioned above, as well as a database.
In development, PostgreSQL is used, which you can download from [here](https://www.postgresql.org/download/).
Look at the file `META-INF/persistence.xml` inside `envoy-server.jar` for the database configuration.
After creating a database and configuring the credentials, the server will initialize the necessary tables automatically.
## Programmer
