How to Install Zusam on Windows 10

Zusam is an open-source project management tool that allows users to collaborate and manage their projects efficiently. This tutorial will guide you through the steps needed to install Zusam on your Windows 10 machine.

Step 1: Install Git

To install Zusam, you need to have Git installed on your machine. If you haven't installed Git already, you can download it from https://git-scm.com/download/win.

Step 2: Clone the Repository

After you have installed Git, open your command prompt and navigate to the directory where you want to clone the Zusam repository. Then, run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/zusam/zusam.git

Step 3: Install Dependencies

Zusam is built using the Node.js runtime environment. To install the necessary dependencies, navigate to the cloned repository directory and run the following command:

npm install

Step 4: Configure the Database

Zusam uses MongoDB as its database, so you need to have MongoDB installed on your machine. You can download MongoDB from https://www.mongodb.com/try/download/community.

Once you have installed MongoDB, you need to configure it. Create a new directory for the MongoDB data and log files using the following commands:

mkdir C:\data\db
mkdir C:\data\log

Then, navigate to the MongoDB installation folder and run the following command:

mongod --dbpath C:\data\db --logpath C:\data\log\mongo.log --install

Finally, start the MongoDB service using the following command:

net start MongoDB

Step 5: Start the Server

To start the Zusam server, navigate to the cloned repository directory and execute the following command:

npm start

Once the server has started, you can access the application by visiting http://localhost:3000 in your web browser.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Zusam on your Windows 10 machine.
