How to install WBO on Windows 11

WBO is a whiteboard application that can be downloaded from https://github.com/lovasoa/whitebophir. In this tutorial, we will walk through the steps of installing WBO on Windows 11.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, we need to make sure that some prerequisites are installed on the system. Here is a list of the software we need:

• Git Bash
• Node.js
• Yarn

Steps

1. Download and install Git Bash from https://git-scm.com/download/win. This will allow us to clone the WBO repository from GitHub.

2. Download and install Node.js from https://nodejs.org/en/download/. This will give us the ability to run JavaScript on the system.

3. Download and install Yarn from https://classic.yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install/#windows-stable. Yarn is a package manager for Node.js and is used to install the dependencies needed to run WBO.

4. Open a terminal window in Git Bash by right-clicking on the desktop and selecting "Git Bash Here".

5. In the terminal window, clone the WBO repository by typing the following command and pressing enter:

git clone https://github.com/lovasoa/whitebophir.git

6. Navigate to the directory where we cloned WBO by typing the following command and pressing enter:

cd whitebophir

7. Run the following command to install the WBO dependencies:

yarn install

8. After the dependencies have been installed, run the following command to start the WBO server:

node server.js

9. WBO is now running on your system. To access it, open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080/.

Congratulations, you have successfully installed WBO on Windows 11! You can now start using it online or host it on your server.

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!
