# Creating a CAcert OIDC server The following should help you to create a machine that allows you to register sites that can behave as an OpenID Connect server for CAcert Client Certificates. Most of the instructions are in INSTALL.txt, but this will give you a few instructions as a bootstrap. To install this project, you should start with a machine, whether physical or virtual, based on Debian 12. You also need to have Git installed in this machine. Start by creating a working directory to work in. I will refer to this as [WorkingDirectory]. Once that is accomplished, change into that [WorkdingDirectory] and: ``` git clone https://code.cacert.org/cacert/oidc-registration-php.git cd oidc-registration-php ``` Once there, you can open the INSTALL.txt file and follow those instructions.
