Tiledesk is an open-source customer support and engagement platform that enables businesses to deliver personalized and real-time customer service. In this tutorial, we'll walk you through the steps to install Tiledesk on a Windows 10 machine.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have the following software installed on your computer:

• Node.js and npm
• Git

Step 1: Clone the Tiledesk Repository

First, open your preferred terminal emulator and navigate to the directory where you want to install Tiledesk. Then, clone the Tiledesk repository using the following command:

git clone https://github.com/tiledesk/tiledesk-server.git

This will download the Tiledesk source code to your local machine.

Step 2: Install Dependencies

Once the Tiledesk repository is cloned, navigate to the project directory and install the required dependencies using the following command:

cd tiledesk-server
npm install

This will install all the necessary modules and packages required to run Tiledesk.

Step 3: Configure Tiledesk

After completing the installation of all the dependencies, you will need to configure Tiledesk. First, create a .env file in the project directory and add the following configuration settings:

DATABASE_URL=<your_database_url>
JWT_SECRET=<your_jwt_secret>

Replace <your_database_url> with your own database URL and <your_jwt_secret> with your own JWT secret.

Next, run the following command to create the required tables in your database:

npx sequelize-cli db:migrate

Step 4: Start Tiledesk

Finally, start the Tiledesk server using the following command:
