Dependency Installation

In this guide, we will install the required dependencies for the Pterodactyl panel. After that, you can follow the official installation documentation.

# Install necessary packages
apt install -y curl ca-certificates gnupg2 sudo lsb-release

# Add additional repositories for PHP
echo "deb https://packages.sury.org/php/ $(lsb_release -sc) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sury-php.list
curl -fsSL https://packages.sury.org/php/apt.gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/sury-keyring.gpg

# Add Redis official APT repository (Debian 11 & 12)
curl -fsSL https://packages.redis.io/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/redis-archive-keyring.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/redis-archive-keyring.gpg] https://packages.redis.io/deb $(lsb_release -cs) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/redis.list

# MariaDB repo setup script (Debian 11 & 12)
curl -LsS https://r.mariadb.com/downloads/mariadb_repo_setup | sudo bash

# Update repositories list
apt update

# Install Dependencies
apt install -y php8.3 php8.3-{common,cli,gd,mysql,mbstring,bcmath,xml,fpm,curl,zip} mariadb-server nginx tar unzip git redis-server

Installing Composer

Composer is a dependency manager for PHP that allows us to ship everything you'll need code wise to operate the Panel. You'll need composer installed before continuing in this process.

curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | sudo php -- --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer

Download Files

Great, now all of the dependencies have been dealt with. Continue the installation by following the official documentation Download Files section.

Wings

There is no additional configuration required for Wings on Debian 11, 12 or 13. You can follow the official Wings install documentation, which covers Docker installation for Debian.
