How to Install Leantime on Windows 10

Leantime is a project management software that is designed to help you and your team manage projects efficiently. Installing Leantime on Windows 10 is a fairly simple process if you follow the steps listed below.

Prerequisites

Before installing Leantime on your computer, you need to make sure that you have the following prerequisites:

2. Extract the downloaded Zip file to a folder on your computer.
3. Open the WAMP server and make sure the Apache and MySQL services are running.
4. Open a terminal or command prompt and navigate to the www folder of your WAMP server installation. For example, if your WAMP server is installed in C:\wamp64, then the default folder would be C:\wamp64\www.
5. Clone the Leantime source code from GitHub by running the following command:

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!
