PocketBase is a cloud-based NoSQL database platform that allows you to store, manage, and retrieve data in a highly secure and scalable environment. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing PocketBase on Windows 11 using the Terminal app.
Before we get started, there are a few things you need to have in place:
Without further ado, let's dive into the installation steps:
To open the Terminal app on Windows 11, you can follow one of the two methods:
In the Terminal app, enter the following command to download the PocketBase installer:
curl -sSfL https://get.pocketbase.io/install.ps1 | powershell
This command will download and execute the PocketBase installation script.
Once the script has downloaded, it will begin to install PocketBase automatically. You will be prompted to provide your PocketBase account details (username and API key) during the installation process. Please ensure that you have these details handy.
For security reasons, your API key will not be shown on the Terminal app. Instead, you will see a placeholder like "**********" when you type your API key.
To verify that PocketBase is installed correctly on your Windows 11 computer, you can run the following command on Terminal:
pocketbase --version
This command will display the version of PocketBase that is currently installed on your computer.
That's it! You have successfully installed PocketBase on your Windows 11 computer. With PocketBase, you can now store, manage, and retrieve your data in a highly secure and scalable environment. Happy coding!
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!
