In this tutorial, we'll walk through the steps to install Scoold on a Windows 10 machine.
Before we start, make sure you have the following requirements on your Windows 10 machine:
Now, let's get started!
First, we need to clone the Scoold repository to our local machine. To do this, open up a command prompt and type the following command:
git clone https://github.com/Erudika/scoold.git
This will create a new folder called scoold on your local machine.
Next, we need to configure Scoold to use our MongoDB instance. To do this, open the scoold/application.conf file in a text editor and update the following lines:
mongo.uri = "mongodb://localhost/scoold"
mongo.db = "scoold"
Change localhost to the IP address or hostname of your MongoDB instance if it's not running on your local machine.
Now, we need to build Scoold by running the following command in the command prompt:
cd scoold
gradlew.bat
This will compile the Scoold source code and create a scoold.war file in the scoold/build/libs folder.
Finally, we need to deploy Scoold to a web server like Tomcat or Jetty. In this tutorial, we'll use Tomcat.
To deploy Scoold to Tomcat, copy the scoold.war file to the webapps folder in your Tomcat installation directory. Then, start Tomcat by running the following command in the command prompt:
cd C:\path\to\tomcat\bin
catalina.bat run
Once Tomcat has started, you should be able to access Scoold by navigating to http://localhost:8080/scoold in your web browser.
Congratulations! You've successfully installed Scoold on your Windows 10 machine. You can now start using Scoold as your Q&A platform.
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!
