How to install QuakeJS on Windows 11

QuakeJS is an open-source project that allows you to play the classic game Quake III Arena directly in your web browser. In this tutorial, we'll be showing you how to install QuakeJS on your Windows 11 machine.

Prerequisites

Before you start, you'll need a few things:

• A web browser with WebSockets support (e.g., Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox)
• Node.js and npm installed on your machine.

Step 1: Clone the QuakeJS Repository

Open your command prompt and navigate to the directory where you want to install QuakeJS.

Next, use the following command to clone the QuakeJS repository from Github:

git clone https://github.com/begleysm/quakejs.git

This will create a quakejs directory in your current location.

Step 2: Install Dependencies

Navigate to the quakejs directory and run the following command to install the project's dependencies:

npm install

Step 3: Start the Game

Once the dependencies are installed, you can start the game by running the following command:
