+```
+sudo apt update
+sudo apt install python-dev
+python --version # Should be >= 2.x or >= 3.x
+```
+
+On Ubuntu >= focal (20.04 LTS) or Debian >= Bullseye:
```
sudo apt update
-sudo apt install certbot nginx ffmpeg postgresql postgresql-contrib openssl g++ make redis-server git python-dev cron wget
+sudo apt install python3-dev python-is-python3 # python-is-python2 should also work
+python --version # Should be >= 2.x or >= 3.x
+```
+
+6. Install common dependencies:
+
+```
+sudo apt update
+sudo apt install certbot nginx ffmpeg postgresql postgresql-contrib openssl g++ make redis-server git cron wget
ffmpeg -version # Should be >= 4.1
g++ -v # Should be >= 5.x
```
1. Run:
```
-sudo pacman -S nodejs-lts-fermium yarn ffmpeg postgresql openssl redis git wget unzip python2 base-devel npm nginx
+sudo pacman -S nodejs-lts-fermium yarn ffmpeg postgresql openssl redis git wget unzip python base-devel npm nginx
```
Now that dependencies are installed, before running PeerTube you should start PostgreSQL and Redis:

```
5. You'll need a symlink for python3 to python for youtube-dl to work
sudo dnf update -y
```
-2. Install NodeJS 12.x (why 12 and not 14? Not sure...):
