Hasura is a powerful open-source tool that allows developers to easily build real-time GraphQL APIs. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Hasura on Windows 11.
Docker Desktop is required to run Hasura on your Windows 11 machine. You can download the latest version of Docker Desktop for Windows from the official website.
Once you have installed Docker Desktop, verify that it has been installed correctly by opening a command prompt or PowerShell window and running the following command:
docker --version
This command should display the version number of Docker installed on your machine.
Next, you will need to download the Hasura Docker image. To do this, open a command prompt or PowerShell window and run the following command:
docker pull hasura/graphql-engine
Once the Docker image has been downloaded, you can start the Hasura Docker container by running the following command:
docker run -d -p 8080:8080 hasura/graphql-engine
This command will start the Hasura Docker container in detached mode and map the container's port 8080 to your machine's port 8080. You can access the Hasura console by opening your web browser and visiting http://localhost:8080/console.
When you access the Hasura console for the first time, you will be prompted to enter a password to secure the console. After entering a password, you can explore the different features of the Hasura console.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Hasura on your Windows 11 machine. You can now start building real-time GraphQL APIs using Hasura.
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!
