As a PHP application, The Arsse requires the aid of a Web server in order to communicate with clients. How to install an configure a Web server in general is outside the scope of this document, but this section provides examples and advice for Web server configuration specific to The Arsse. Any server capable of interfacing with PHP should work, though we have only tested Nginx and Apache 2.4.

```sh
sudo a2enmod proxy proxy_fcgi
sudo systemctl restart apache2
```
Afterward the follow virtual host configuration should work, after modifying path as appropriate:
