  3. Once the installation is complete, open the Microsoft Store and search for "Ubuntu" or another Linux distribution of your choice. Install the distribution and launch it.
  4. Follow the commands for your chosen Linux distribution to install the Git package:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git
  1. Once Git is installed, clone the wantguns-bin repository by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/wantguns/bin.git
  1. Navigate to the cloned repository using the terminal by running the following command:
cd bin
  1. Once you have navigated to the bin folder, you can run the Wantguns-bin binary file using the following command:
./wantguns
  1. You have successfully installed Wantguns-bin on your Windows 11 computer, and you can now use it as intended.

Note: Keep in mind that Wantguns-bin is designed for Linux systems, so you may experience issues using it on a Windows system.

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!
