GoAccess is a powerful and real-time web log analyzer that helps you to analyze your website traffic. Here are the steps to install GoAccess on Windows 10:
Before proceeding with the installation, ensure that you have the following in place:
Follow the below steps to install GoAccess on your Windows 10 computer:
Download the latest version of GoAccess for Windows from their official website (https://goaccess.io/download). You will find a zip file with the name "goaccess-x.x-x-win64.zip", where x.x.x is the version number.
Extract the zip file to a directory on your computer.
Open a command prompt window by pressing the Win + R key combination and executing the cmd command.
In the command prompt window, navigate to the directory where you extracted the GoAccess files. For example, if you extracted the files in C:\goaccess, then you need to navigate to that directory by executing the following command:
cd C:\goaccess
Run the following command to start GoAccess:
goaccess.exe -f /path/to/access.log -o /path/to/output.html
Replace /path/to/access.log with the path to your web server access log file and /path/to/output.html with the path where you want to save the output HTML file.
If you want to see the data in real-time, you can use the -c option with the following command:
goaccess.exe -f /path/to/access.log -o /path/to/output.html -c
This will start GoAccess in real-time mode and display the results every second.
That's it! With these simple steps, you can install and use GoAccess on your Windows 10 computer to keep track of your website traffic.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
