Not sure if just want to run locally or make it available for others served. If the second...... You can install on a server you allocate from your hosting provider (look for and follow the instruction on installing with snap in the wekan doc, https://github.com/wekan/wekan-snap/wiki/Install. It works fine, I have several instances running online.

Hi Paul Thanks for your reply, did you have to install it on a VSP with 4 gig ram (like it says in ONE lot of recommendations, .. this might be for a large organisation

@joesgotdementia 2 GB RAM in VPS is minimum. For large amount of users, I recommend bare metal server with NVME disk and more RAM.
@joesgotdementia At server you see with command: free -h
about is there enough RAM. If there is, it does not use swap.
but if there is a lot of swap in use, there is not enough RAM, and Wekan slows down
because harddisk is a lot slower than RAM

I run 4 GB Ram, 2 Vcore and provide a non root ebs which I mount under the mongo folder, so that mongo will not fill up root. Root gets app and logs. If you want the particulars of that mount point lmk. I have three of these going and things are fast and are not filling up Ram or disk.

Thanks for your reply, do you have your own server, or is this for a company (sorry if I sound ignorant)

@joesgotdementia Nowadays not many have their own physical servers. Servers are rented from cloud, like AWS/Azure/DigitalOcean/Upcloud/Hetzner etc.

@joesgotdementia When I about 2 years ago tried VM at Google Cloud, I could not find how to enable websockets, that are required for getting Wekan to work. That caused there being errors with name "websockets" at browser inspect console. I have not tried again after that is it possible to get Wekan working well at Google Cloud.
With google search you could find is it possible to have websockets enabled at Google Cloud
