There are a few ways of installing Sympl. You will need a Debian or Raspberry Pi OS server running Buster (10), Bullseye (11) or Bookworm (12), and root access to the server. We suggest the server is freshly re-imaged, with only minimal packages installed on it and a correctly configured hostname.

Imaged Install

If you're using a virtual server from Mythic Beasts, you can use their automatic installer to install Sympl and set most things up for you.

See Installing Sympl on Mythic Beasts for more information.

Automatic Install

There is a basic auto-install script which can be used to install Sympl with minimal intervention and point the user to important resources.

Install Stable/Production Version

wget https://gitlab.com/sympl.io/install/-/raw/master/install.sh
bash install.sh


Install Beta/Testing Version

wget https://gitlab.com/sympl.io/install/-/raw/master/install.sh
bash install.sh --testing

Non Interactive Install

The install script supports a non-interactive install, with the --noninteractive switch.

This disables the normal 5 second delay before installing.

If using this in an automated script, please ensure that users are pointed to the URL https://wiki.sympl.io/Get_Started and are made aware of the file README_SYMPL.txt in the root adn sympl users home directories for documentation, and strongly suggest they update the password for the sympl user as soon as possible.

Manual Install

Alternatively, you can install manually:

apt install wget gnupg
wget -qO- http://mirror.mythic-beasts.com/mythic/support@mythic-beasts.com.gpg.key | apt-key add -
echo deb http://packages.mythic-beasts.com/mythic/ $(grep '^VERSION_CODENAME' /etc/os-release | cut -d'=' -f2) main > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sympl_mythic-beasts.list
apt-get update
apt-get install --install-recommends sympl-core

You will be prompted for a number of things during the install. Depending on the state of your system, some of these may not be asked or may be in another order:
