If you want to install on your own web space, we recommend Reclaim Hosting, which includes one-click Known installation. Known is also known to work on DreamHost, a high-quality web hosting provider.

Known is under active development and requires PHP 8.1+ with selected extensions, together with a supported database backend. You can find detailed installation instructions here: http://docs.withknown.com/en/latest/install/index.html

Unofficial install packages, which are periodically built from the latest code, are available: https://www.marcus-povey.co.uk/known/
