Restyaboard is an open-source Kanban board application that can be used for project management, team collaboration, and task scheduling. In this tutorial, we will explain how to install Restyaboard on Windows 11.
To install Restyaboard on Windows 11, the following prerequisites must be met:
The first step is to download the Restyaboard source code package from the official GitHub repository. Open your web browser and go to https://github.com/RestyaPlatform/board/. Click on the green "Code" button and then click on "Download ZIP" to download the code.
After downloading Restyaboard, extract the ZIP file to the htdocs directory of your XAMPP installation. By default, this directory is located at C:\xampp\htdocs.
Rename the extracted Restyaboard directory to something meaningful, such as "restyaboard".
Before starting the installation process, you need to create a MySQL database for Restyaboard. Open the XAMPP Control Panel and start the MySQL database server. Then, open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost/phpmyadmin. Log in with your MySQL root account and password (default: root with no password).
Click on the "New" button to create a new database. Give the database a name, such as "restyaboard", and click on "Create" to create the database.
Navigate to the restyaboard directory that you created in Step 3. Find the config.example.php file and rename it to config.php. Open the config.php file with a text editor, such as Notepad. Modify the following lines in the config.php file:
define('DB_DRIVER', 'mysqli');
define('DB_HOSTNAME', 'localhost');
define('DB_USERNAME', 'root');
define('DB_PASSWORD', '');
define('DB_DATABASE', 'restyaboard');
Change the DB_HOSTNAME to "localhost", and replace "root" with your MySQL username and password. Also, change the DB_DATABASE to the name of the database that you created in Step 4.
Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost/restyaboard. You should see the Restyaboard installation page. Follow the instructions to complete the installation.
After installation is complete, Restyaboard should be accessible on the URL http://localhost/restyaboard. You can log in to Restyaboard with the default username and password, which are "admin" and "password", respectively.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Restyaboard on your Windows 11 machine. You can now use Restyaboard to manage your projects, collaborate with your team, and schedule your tasks.
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!
