# Prerequisites

> What you need before installing Veriox.

## Accounts

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Veriox account" icon="user" href="https://portal.veriox.io">
    Sign up at portal.veriox.io. You will need to complete onboarding (company details and billing) before you can create a worker.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Cloudflare account" icon="cloud">
    Your site must be proxied through Cloudflare. The free Cloudflare plan is sufficient. Workers are deployed to your account — Veriox does not have access to your Cloudflare account.

## Tooling

| Tool         | Version | Purpose                              |
| ------------ | ------- | ------------------------------------ |
| Node.js      | 18+     | Required by Wrangler                 |
| Wrangler CLI | Latest  | Deploy and manage Cloudflare Workers |

Install Wrangler globally:

```bash theme={null}
npm install -g wrangler
wrangler login
```

The [Wrangler documentation](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/wrangler/) covers all CLI commands and configuration options if you need the full reference.

## Your domain on Cloudflare

Your domain must be **proxied through Cloudflare** (orange cloud in the DNS dashboard) for the Worker Route to take effect. If your domain is not on Cloudflare, you can either:

* Transfer it to Cloudflare (free)
* Add it as a Cloudflare zone while keeping your registrar

<Warning>
  If your DNS records are set to DNS-only (grey cloud), the worker will not intercept requests and Veriox will not function.
</Warning>
