Inboxen is an open-source web application that allows you to manage your email. In this tutorial, we’ll be walking you through the process of installing Inboxen on Windows 10.
Before we begin, you will need the following:
Note: If you do not have Git Bash installed, you can still follow this tutorial by using the Windows Command Prompt instead.
Open Git Bash by right-clicking in any directory and selecting “Git Bash here.”
In the Git Bash window, run the following command to clone the Inboxen repository:
git clone https://github.com/inboxen/inboxen.git
This will create a new directory called inboxen that contains all the necessary files for Inboxen.
Navigate to the inboxen directory using the following command:
cd inboxen
Run the following command to setup your virtual environment:
python -m venv venv
Activate the virtual environment by running the following command:
source venv/Scripts/activate
Install the necessary dependencies by running the following command:
pip install -r requirements.txt
To complete the setup process, run the following command to initialize the Inboxen database:
python manage.py migrate
This will create a SQLite database in the inboxen directory.
Now, run the following command to start the Inboxen web server:
python manage.py runserver
Finally, open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8000/. You should now see the Inboxen login screen.
Create a new account to start using Inboxen!
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Inboxen on your Windows 10 machine! With your Inboxen account, you can now easily manage your emails and stay organized.
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!
