Tutorial: How to Install Kanbana on Windows 10

Kanbana is a web-based Kanban board tool that is designed for small teams or personal use. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Kanbana on Windows 10. We will assume that you have Git, Node.js, and MongoDB installed on your machine.

Step 1: Download Kanbana

To download Kanbana, first, you need to clone the repository. Open the command prompt (CMD) on your Windows 10 and run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/SrGMC/kanbana.git

This command will download the Kanbana project files to your local machine.

Step 2: Install Dependencies

Before you can run Kanbana, you will need to install its dependencies. To do this, open the command prompt and navigate to the Kanbana project directory that you just downloaded in the previous step. Then, run the following command:

npm install

This command will install all the required dependencies for the Kanbana project.

Step 3: Start MongoDB

Kanbana uses MongoDB as its database. Therefore, you need to start the MongoDB server before running Kanbana. To do this, open a new command prompt window (if you have closed the previous one) and navigate to the MongoDB installation directory. Then, run the following command to start the MongoDB server:

mongod.exe

This command will start the MongoDB server on your local machine.

Step 4: Start Kanbana

Now that you have installed the dependencies and started MongoDB, you can start Kanbana. To do this, open the command prompt and navigate to the Kanbana project directory that you downloaded in step 1. Then, run the following command:

npm start

This command will start the Kanbana server and launch the web application using your default browser.

Step 5: Access Kanbana

Kanbana should now be running on your machine. To access it, open your web browser and go to the following URL:

http://localhost:3000

This will bring up the Kanbana login page. You can create a new account if you don’t have one already, or you can log in with an existing account.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Kanbana on your Windows 10 machine. Now you can start using it to manage your projects and tasks.
