Infinoted is a collaborative editing server used by software developers, writers, and other professionals to work on documents and code collaboratively. Here's how you can install Infinoted on your Windows 11 machine.
Before getting started, make sure that you have the following:
Step 1: Install MSYS2
Infinoted requires a Unix-like environment to run on Windows. We'll be using MSYS2 to create such an environment. Follow these steps to install MSYS2:
Step 2: Install Required Dependencies
Infinoted requires several dependencies to be installed on your machine. These include:
To install these packages, open MSYS2 from your start menu or search bar. From within the MSYS2 terminal, run the following command:
pacman -S git gcc libgnutls libxml2 gettext make
This will download and install all of the required dependencies.
Step 3: Clone Infinoted from GitHub
Now that we have all of the dependencies installed, we can clone the Infinoted repository from GitHub. To do this, run the following command from within the MSYS2 terminal:
git clone https://github.com/gobby/infinoted.git
This will download the most recent version of Infinoted to your local machine.
Step 4: Build and Install Infinoted
With the repository cloned, we can now build and install Infinoted. Change directory to the cloned repository using the following command:
cd infinoted
From within the infinoted directory, run the following command to build the application:
make
Once the build is complete, run the following command to install Infinoted:
make install
This will install Infinoted on your system.
Step 5: Configure and Start Infinoted
To configure and start the Infinoted server, create a new file in your favorite text editor with the following configuration:
[Infinoted]
CertFile=default.crt
KeyFile=default.key
Save this file as infinoted.conf in any directory on your system.
From within the MSYS2 terminal, navigate to the directory containing the infinoted.conf file and run the following command to start Infinoted:
infinoted --config ./infinoted.conf
This will start the Infinoted server on your Windows 11 machine.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Infinoted on your Windows 11 machine! You can now use it to collaborate on code or documents with others.
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!
