Modern VSI OpenVMS (x86-64 / Alpha / Itanium) uses PCSI (POLYCENTER Software
Installation utility): PRODUCT INSTALL installs/manages .PCSI layered-product
kits, and updates ship as ECO kits (patch kits). Legacy products still use
VMSINSTAL (installs from savesets). Service updates are downloaded manually as
signed ZIPs from the VMS Software portal, unpacked, and installed with PRODUCT INSTALL.
OpenVMS has no automatic Internet update — everything is administrator-initiated.

No for the desktop — no Electron/Chromium. VSI ships a Node.js port, so the WeKan server side is conceivable; the Electron client is not.
