[libvips](https://github.com/libvips/libvips) is the core of esmBot's image processing commands. Version 8.13.0 or higher is recommended because it contains fixes to GIF handling and support for the freeze command; however, this version isn't packaged for most distros yet. To fix this, you'll need to build libvips from source.
!!! note
Alpine, Arch, and RHEL **(not Fedora!)** users can skip this step, since these distros now have 8.13.0 packaged.

esmBot officially supports two database systems: SQLite and PostgreSQL. While SQLite is smaller and requires no initial setup, PostgreSQL has better performance (especially in large environments).
!!! tip
If you're new to databases and self-hosting, choose SQLite.
If you would like to use the SQLite database, no configuration is needed and you can move on to the next step.
If you would like to use the PostgreSQL database, view the setup instructions [here](https://esmbot.github.io/esmBot/postgresql) and come back here when you're finished.

Lavalink is the audio server used by esmBot for soundboard commands and music playback. If you do not plan on using these features, you can safely skip this step.
Lavalink requires a Java (11 or 13) installation. You can use [SDKMAN](https://sdkman.io) to install Eclipse Temurin, a popular Java distribution:

There are websites out there providing lists of public Lavalink instances that can be used with the bot. However, these are not recommended due to performance/security concerns and missing features, and it is highly recommended to set one up yourself instead using the steps below.

You'll need to run Lavalink alongside the bot in order to use it. There are a few methods to do this, such as the `screen` command, creating a new systemd service, or simply just opening a new terminal session alongside your current one.

??? faq "Gifs from Tenor result in a "no decode delegate for this image format" or "improper image header" error"
Tenor GIFs are actually stored as MP4s, which libvips can't decode most of the time. You'll need to get a Tenor API key from [here](https://developers.google.com/tenor/guides/quickstart) and put it in the `TENOR` variable in .env.
??? faq "Sound/music commands do nothing"
Make sure Lavalink is running and started up completely. The bot skips loading sound commands if Lavalink is not present, so make sure it's running when the bot starts as well.
