Dispatch is a diary/note taking app for developers. In order to use Dispatch on Windows 11, you need to install it from the GitHub repository. Here's a step-by-step guide to installing Dispatch on Windows 11.
Prerequisites
- A computer running Windows 11.
- Git should be installed in the system. If Git is not installed, download it from: https://git-scm.com/download/win
Installation
- Open your browser and navigate to Dispatch’s GitHub page: https://github.com/khlieng/dispatch
- Once on the page, click on the green "Code" button and select "Download ZIP". This will download the Dispatch source code as a ZIP file to your computer.
- Extract the downloaded ZIP file to a directory of your choice. You can do this by right-clicking the file and selecting "Extract All" or by using third-party software like WinRAR or 7-Zip.
- Open Windows PowerShell by searching for it in the Start menu.
- Navigate to the directory where you extracted the Dispatch code using the
cd command. For example: cd C:\Users\Administrator\Downloads\dispatch-master
- Type
npm install -g npm in the command prompt to install Node Package Manager if it is not already installed on the system.

npm install to install the dependencies needed to run Dispatch.
- Once the install process is complete, enter
npm start to start Dispatch on your computer.
- A new window should open in your default browser with Dispatch running.
