• Composer (for setup)
• ln program (for setup, comes with GNU Coreutils)
• PHP (8.1 or later)

Please note that libchandler uses Sodium PHP extension. This extension is included in default php7.3+ setup, but some hosting providers disable it. Please, contact your hosting provider and ask them whether sodium is available. Also, some plugins may require some additional dependencies from Packagist/NPM, so, you may need to have Yarn installed to correctly setup dependencies.
