## Common questions

### Do I need a desktop environment to run Project NOMAD as a server?

No. Installation is terminal-based and the tools are accessed through a browser, so a desktop environment is not required.

### What privileges are required to run the installer?

sudo or root privileges are required to run the install script.

### Which port does the Command Center use after installation?

Open the browser to localhost or the device IP on port 8080.

### Can I deploy Project NOMAD manually instead of using the install script?

Advanced users can copy the Docker Compose template into a docker-compose.yml file, replace placeholders, and start it with docker compose up -d.

### How can I move Project NOMAD's data to a larger drive?

A Linux Mint user reports using a symbolic-link fix to move the project's storage folder to a larger drive.
