How to Install Restyaboard on Windows 11

Restyaboard is an open-source Kanban board application that can be used for project management, team collaboration, and task scheduling. In this tutorial, we will explain how to install Restyaboard on Windows 11.

Prerequisites

To install Restyaboard on Windows 11, the following prerequisites must be met:

• You have a Windows 11 machine with administrative access.
• You have installed XAMPP software, which provides the Apache web server, MySQL database server, and PHP programming language.

Step 1 - Download Restyaboard

The first step is to download the Restyaboard source code package from the official GitHub repository. Open your web browser and go to https://github.com/RestyaPlatform/board/. Click on the green "Code" button and then click on "Download ZIP" to download the code.

Step 2 - Extract Restyaboard

After downloading Restyaboard, extract the ZIP file to the htdocs directory of your XAMPP installation. By default, this directory is located at C:\xampp\htdocs.

Step 3 - Rename Restyaboard

Rename the extracted Restyaboard directory to something meaningful, such as "restyaboard".

Step 4 - Create a MySQL Database

Before starting the installation process, you need to create a MySQL database for Restyaboard. Open the XAMPP Control Panel and start the MySQL database server. Then, open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost/phpmyadmin. Log in with your MySQL root account and password (default: root with no password).

Click on the "New" button to create a new database. Give the database a name, such as "restyaboard", and click on "Create" to create the database.

Step 5 - Modify the Configuration File

Navigate to the restyaboard directory that you created in Step 3. Find the config.example.php file and rename it to config.php. Open the config.php file with a text editor, such as Notepad. Modify the following lines in the config.php file:

define('DB_DRIVER', 'mysqli');
define('DB_HOSTNAME', 'localhost');
define('DB_USERNAME', 'root');
define('DB_PASSWORD', '');
define('DB_DATABASE', 'restyaboard');

Change the DB_HOSTNAME to "localhost", and replace "root" with your MySQL username and password. Also, change the DB_DATABASE to the name of the database that you created in Step 4.

Step 6 - Start the Installation

Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost/restyaboard. You should see the Restyaboard installation page. Follow the instructions to complete the installation.

Step 7 - Start Restyaboard

After installation is complete, Restyaboard should be accessible on the URL http://localhost/restyaboard. You can log in to Restyaboard with the default username and password, which are "admin" and "password", respectively.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Restyaboard on your Windows 11 machine. You can now use Restyaboard to manage your projects, collaborate with your team, and schedule your tasks.
