Prerequisites

To install the CESNET flavor of Invenio repository, you will need the following tools:

Linux or Mac (Windows is not supported)
Latest version of Docker or OrbStack configured so that regular users can run Docker commands without sudo
Node.js , version 20+ and pnpm
Python, version 3.13
Git
Bash, version 5+. On Mac, the system version of bash is usually 3.x, so you may need to install a newer version via Homebrew: brew install bash
uv
ImageMagick
