Mars Server is a Node.js application that connects and controls a group of robots. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Mars server on Windows 11.
Before we dive in, make sure you have the following installed on your machine:
Open your command prompt and navigate to the directory where you want to install Mars Server. Then, clone the Mars Server repository by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/borjapazr/mars-server.git
This will create a new directory named mars-server and clone the project there.
Once the repository is cloned, navigate to the mars-server directory and run the following command to install all the required npm packages:
npm install
This might take some time, depending on your internet connection speed.
After all the npm packages are installed, run the following command to start the Mars Server:
npm start
If everything goes correctly, you should see the following message on your console:
Mars server running on port 3000
This means that the Mars Server is up and running. You can now use the server to communicate and control a group of robots.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Mars Server on Windows 11. With the Mars Server up and running, you can now develop your own robot control application or use it with existing robot control software.
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!
