### Do I need a Mac mini for iMessage support?
|
||||
|
||||
You need **some macOS device** signed into Messages. It does **not** have to be a Mac mini —
|
||||
any Mac works. Clawdbot’s iMessage integrations run on macOS (BlueBubbles or `imsg`), while
|
||||
the Gateway can run elsewhere.
|
||||
|
||||
Common setups:
|
||||
- Run the Gateway on Linux/VPS, and point `channels.imessage.cliPath` at an SSH wrapper that
|
||||
runs `imsg` on the Mac.
|
||||
- Run everything on the Mac if you want the simplest single‑machine setup.

||||
### Can I use Bun?
|
||||
|
||||
Bun is **not recommended**. We see runtime bugs, especially with WhatsApp and Telegram.
