MikoPBX is a full-fledged operating system for your hardware; it is not a standalone application. It is provided as an image file (*.iso, *.img, *.raw).
It supports various installation methods:
Installation on a standalone computer.
Installation in a virtual machine.
Installation using cloud services.
Installation in a Docker container.
Follow the link for your preferred installation method and proceed according to the provided instructions.
After installation, you need to access the MikoPBX web interface for further system configuration. To do this, find the PBX's IP address in the MikoPBX console:

For stable PBX operation, you need to configure the network through the Network and Firewall → Network Interface section. Detailed instructions for these settings can be found here.
In MikoPBX, all local subnets can be defined in the Network and Firewall → Firewall section. The firewall is intended to restrict access to the PBX based on traffic type and subnets. Follow the setup instructions here.
Fail2Ban blocks IP addresses exhibiting unusual activity; it can reduce the rate of failed authentication attempts and helps protect your PBX from hacking. Instructions to help with the setup can be found here.
After completing the initial PBX setup, you can proceed to create accounts for your employees. This instruction will assist you.
