Choosing a Platform

Last updated 1 year ago

A bonder can be run on any setup you are comfortable with. The preferred method is to run the bonder locally, but there is nothing stopping you from running it on a virtual private server (VPC) on the Cloud.

To see an example of an EC2 setup, check out the link below.

When you make your choice, continue onto the next section to prepare for the installation of the bonder client.
