====== PWstudio CPU version - Rocky Linux 8.10 installation guide ======

Applies to: Rocky Linux 8.10\\
Includes: Docker

<wrap important>
Before you start, we strongly recommend reading [[en:pwstudio:readme|Read this before installing PWstudio]] first. If you don't yet know how to use a tool to log in to a server or upload/download files, read [[en:pwstudio:mobaxterm|the MobaXterm beginner tutorial]] first. The CPU version doesn't need a GPU driver — you only need to install Docker.

===== 1. System setup =====

==== 1.1 Disable the firewall ====

<code bash>
systemctl stop firewalld
systemctl disable firewalld
</code>

The first command stops the firewall immediately, the second prevents it from starting automatically at boot. Normally there's no visible output — as long as there's no error in red, it succeeded.

===== 2. Install Docker =====

The Docker installation steps are exactly the same for the CPU and GPU versions, so just jump straight to the corresponding section of the GPU installation guide — no need to read it twice.

Click the link to jump to the <wrap em>Install Docker</wrap> section: [[en:pwstudio:rocky_gpu#Install Docker|Go to "Install Docker"]] and follow the guide starting from "3. Install Docker" through to the end of "3.5 (Optional) Allow a non-root user to run Docker" (**you don't need** to continue on to "4. Install nvidia-container-toolkit" — that's only needed for the GPU version). Then come back here and continue with step 3 below.

===== 3. Install the PWstudio CPU version =====

Once Docker is installed, click the link to continue installing PWstudio itself, starting from <wrap em>Install the server.py service on the host machine</wrap>: [[en:pwstudio:quickstart_cpu#Install the server.py service on the host machine|Go to "Install the server.py service on the host machine"]], and follow the guide through to the end.
