How to Install Uguu on Windows 10

Uguu is a simple and lightweight file sharing service that allows users to upload and share files easily. Here's how you can install Uguu on Windows 10:

Step 1: Install Node.js

Before we can install Uguu, we need to make sure we have Node.js installed. Node.js is a JavaScript runtime that is required for Uguu to run.

1. Go to https://nodejs.org/ and download the LTS version of Node.js for Windows.
2. Run the installer and follow the prompts to install Node.js on your system.

Step 2: Download the Uguu GitHub Repository

Next, we need to download the Uguu GitHub repository to our local machine.

1. Go to https://github.com/nokonoko/uguu and click the green "Code" button.
2. From the dropdown menu, select "Download ZIP". This will download the repository as a ZIP file to your Downloads folder.

Step 3: Extract the Files

After the ZIP file has finished downloading, we need to extract the files.

1. Navigate to your Downloads folder and find the ZIP file.
2. Right-click on the ZIP file and select "Extract All".
3. Follow the prompts to extract the files to a location on your system.

Step 4: Install Dependencies

We need to install the dependencies required for Uguu to run.

1. Open Command Prompt (CMD) as an administrator.
2. Navigate to the directory where you extracted the Uguu files by typing cd followed by the path to the directory (e.g. cd C:\Downloads\uguu-master).
3. Type npm install and press Enter to install the required dependencies.

Step 5: Start the Uguu Server

Now that we have installed the dependencies, we can start the Uguu server.

1. In the same Command Prompt window, type node app.js and press Enter.
2. Wait for the Uguu server to start. You will see a message that says "Uguu is now listening on port 8080!" when the server is ready.

Step 6: Test Uguu

Finally, we can test Uguu to make sure it is working properly.

1. Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080/.
2. You should see the Uguu homepage. Try uploading a file to test the file sharing functionality.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Uguu on your Windows 10 system.
