This AppImage is based on the Lagrange browser (v1.18.4). It bundles and runs caracal for you, making it the easiest way to get started if you use Linux.
It runs caracal on port 1985 to avoid conflicts.

chmod +x ./caracal-x86_64.AppImage

Then go to gemini://localhost in your Gemini browser.
If needed, you can change the listen port (which is 1965 by default) using the -p option.
caracal -p 1995
Use -l to set the listen address, and --cert-cn to set the certificate Common Name (CN).
