How to Install Teedy on Windows 11

Teedy is an open-source alternative to popular note-taking applications like Evernote, OneNote, and Google Keep. It allows you to create, organize and share notes securely. In this tutorial, we will be installing Teedy on Windows 11.

Prerequisites

Before we begin the installation process, make sure you have the following:

• A computer running Windows 11.
• A web browser to download the Teedy installer.
• Administrative privileges on your computer.

Step 1: Download and Install WSL2

Teedy is developed using Node.js, which requires a Linux environment to run on Windows. To achieve this, we'll use the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). If you have WSL2 installed already, skip to Step 2.

Here's how to download and install WSL2:

1. Open the Start menu and search for "Windows Features."
2. Click on "Turn Windows features on or off."
3. Scroll down and locate "Windows Subsystem for Linux."
4. Check the box next to it and click on "OK."
5. Restart your computer to complete the installation process.

Step 2: Download and Install Teedy

Now that we have WSL2 installed on our machine, let's move on to installing Teedy.

1. Open your web browser and visit https://teedy.io/download/windows/.
2. Download the Teedy installation file.
3. Double-click on the file to launch the installation wizard.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions and choose the location where you want to install Teedy.
5. Once it's installed, you can launch Teedy from the Windows Start menu.

Step 3: Create an Admin User

When you launch Teedy for the first time, you will be prompted to create an admin user. This user will have full access to Teedy and can add or remove users, create notes, and perform other actions.

1. Enter the required information like email address and password.
2. Click on "Create user" to complete the process.

Step 4: Access Teedy

Now that Teedy is installed on your Windows 11 computer, you can access it by following these steps:

1. Open your preferred web browser.
2. Enter "localhost:8080" in the address bar.
3. Log in with the admin user credentials to access the Teedy dashboard.
