Setup 4CAT (Capture and Analysis Toolkit) on linux Server using Docker

4CAT is a research tool that can be used to analyse and process data from online social platforms. Its goal is to make the capture and analysis of data from these platforms accessible to people through a web interface, without requiring any programming or web scraping skills.

Tested on Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS & 4CAT 1.38
