Before you begin, ensure that you have the following:
First, update the packages list and install the required dependencies:

Add the Kresus repository to your system's repository list:
echo "deb https://dl.packager.io/srv/kresus/kresus/latest/debian/ bullseye main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kresus.list
Install Kresus and the PostgreSQL database server:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y kresus postgresql postgresql-contrib
Configure PostgreSQL by creating a new user account and a new database:
sudo su - postgres
createuser kresus
createdb kresus -O kresus
exit

"port": 9876
