Installing Wazo on Windows 11

Note: Wazo is designed to run on Linux operating systems. However, it is possible to install it on Windows 11 using a virtualization tool like VirtualBox or VMware. In this tutorial, we will use VirtualBox to install Wazo on Windows 11.

Prerequisites

To install Wazo on Windows 11, you need the following:

• A computer running Windows 11 with at least 8GB of RAM and 50GB of free disk space.
• VirtualBox software installed on your computer.
• A Wazo ISO image downloaded from the Wazo website.

Step 1: Install VirtualBox

1. Download VirtualBox from the Oracle website.
2. Run the installer and follow the on-screen instructions to install VirtualBox on your computer.

Step 2: Create a new virtual machine

1. Open VirtualBox and click on the "New" button.
2. Give your virtual machine a name, select "Linux" as the type, and "Other Linux (64-bit)" as the version.
3. Set the RAM size to at least 2GB (2048MB).
4. Create a new virtual hard drive with at least 30GB of storage space.
5. Click on "Create" to create the new virtual machine.

Step 3: Configure the virtual machine settings

1. Right-click on the new virtual machine and select "Settings".
2. Go to the "Storage" tab.
3. Click on the "Empty" CD/DVD drive and then click on the small CD icon on the right side of the window.
4. Select "Choose Virtual Optical Disk File" and navigate to the Wazo ISO image you downloaded earlier.
5. Go to the "Network" tab and select "Bridged Adapter" as the "Attached to" setting.

Step 4: Install Wazo

1. Start the virtual machine by clicking on the "Start" button in VirtualBox.
2. Select "Install Wazo" from the boot menu and press Enter.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to install Wazo on the virtual machine.
4. Once the installation is complete, reboot the virtual machine.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Wazo on Windows 11 using VirtualBox. You can now access the web interface by opening a web browser on your Windows 11 machine and navigating to the IP address of the virtual machine.

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!
