The Moonshot libraries need to be installed on any system running an Application/Service for which you wish to enable Moonshot authentication.

Although we have separate instructions for installing the Moonshot libraries on a client and a server, they are in fact the same software packages - only the configuration steps differ.
Supported Operating Systems
Moonshot ships as RPM and Deb repositories for Linux, and as installers for Windows and macOS.
