Ask whoever pointed you here for the username and access token. The installer
checks this before it writes anything and tells you if it is missing, rather
than letting it surface later as a download that never finishes.

## What is and is not public
## If it does not start
This installer is public. What it downloads is not: the compose file, the
configuration and the database seed are pulled from `git.djdadi.com` as a
container image, pinned by digest, behind the same sign-in as the server
images. The ANT server software is confidential and licensed from BlueBotics —
do not pass it on.
- **"docker not found"** or **"the Docker daemon is not responding"** — Docker
is not installed, or is not running. See above.
- **"could not download the bundle"** — this machine cannot reach
`git.djdadi.com`. Check the network, and the VPN if one is needed.
- **"still not ready after 5 minutes"** — Docker Desktop needs more memory.
Settings → Resources → at least 6 GB; the server alone asks for 4 GB.
## A note on distribution
The ANT server software is confidential and licensed from BlueBotics. These
images are currently served without authentication for short-term internal
use — please do not circulate the URL outside the organisation.
Windows is not covered here; ask for the zip bundle, which has double-click
entry points instead.
