Auto Install FAQ

• On which OS it works?

  Auto install works on Debian 10/11, Ubuntu 20/21, Centos 8, Fedora 34. On other OS it probably can succeed too.

• What about non x86_64 CPUs? Does it supports different ARM?

  Partial. Required packages seems to work. Optional/Boost - not all. You can look at manual install and try to install them yourself. We work to fully support ARM with auto install.

• Can auto install break my system? How return system to previous state?

  No, it cant break anything in system. All you need to do is to remove local folder inside MediaDC app.

• Can I perform partial manual install and end it with auto install?

  Yes, those python packages that are already present will be not installed second time. More info.
