How to Install VictoriaMetrics on Windows 10

If you want to install VictoriaMetrics on your Windows 10 machine, then follow these steps:

  1. First, you need to go to the VictoriaMetrics GitHub repository.

  2. Once you're on the repository, click on the "Releases" tab. This will take you to the latest releases that they have.

  3. Download the latest release by clicking on the .zip file. Make sure that you download the windows-amd64 file since you're using Windows 10.

  4. Once the download is complete, extract the contents of the .zip file to any location on your computer.

  5. Open the extracted folder and look for the victoria-metrics-prod.exe file. Right-click on the file and select "Run as administrator" to execute the file. This will start the VictoriaMetrics server on your Windows 10 machine.

  6. Once the server is up and running, you should be able to access VictoriaMetrics on your browser at http://localhost:8428/.

  7. That's it! You have successfully installed VictoriaMetrics on your Windows 10 machine, and you can start using it for your data monitoring, analysis, and visualisation needs.

Note: You may need to modify your Windows Firewall settings to allow incoming traffic on port 8428.

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!
