In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Hasura on Windows 10. Hasura is an open-source tool that allows you to build real-time GraphQL APIs on top of your existing databases. With Hasura, you can easily create APIs by defining your database schema as GraphQL types and queries.
Before we begin, you need to make sure you have the following software installed on your computer:
Follow the below steps to install Hasura on your Windows 10 machine:
The first step is to download and install Docker Desktop on your computer. Docker is a containerization platform that allows us to run applications inside containers. You can download Docker Desktop from the official website: https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop
Once the download is complete, run the installer and follow the installation wizard to complete the installation process.
The next step is to download and install Git on your computer. Git is a version control system that helps in managing code changes. You can download Git from the official website: https://git-scm.com/download/win
Once the download is complete, run the installer and follow the installation wizard to complete the installation process.
After successfully installing Git, you need to clone the Hasura repository by following the below steps:
Open Command Prompt (CMD) as administrator.
Change your directory to your preferred location where you want to clone the Hasura repository. e.g. 'cd C:\Users\UserName'
Run git clone https://github.com/hasura/graphql-engine.git –recursive
Now that we have cloned the Hasura repository, we can start the Hasura server with Docker.
Open Command Prompt and change your directory to the Hasura repository. e.g. 'cd C:\Users\UserName\graphql-engine'
Run docker-compose up -d to start the Hasura server in detached mode.
Once the Hasura server is up and running, we can verify the installation by accessing the Hasura Console.
Open a web browser and go to http://localhost:8080/console
You will be prompted to sign in with your Hasura account. If you don't have an account, you can sign up for a free account.
After signing in, you will be redirected to the Hasura Console where you can begin exploring the features of Hasura.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Hasura on your Windows 10 machine. You can now start building real-time GraphQL APIs on top of your existing databases using Hasura.
In this tutorial, we have covered the step-by-step process of installing Hasura on your Windows 10 machine. By following these steps, you will be able to start building real-time GraphQL APIs with Hasura in no time. Happy coding!
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!
