ShellHub is a modern protocol gateway designed for the Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud-native applications. This tutorial will guide you through the steps required to install ShellHub on Windows 11.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, you will need:

A ShellHub account to obtain your credentials.
An active Internet connection to download the necessary files and dependencies.

Installation

Open PowerShell by searching for it in the Windows Start menu and right-click on it then select "Run as Administrator".

Run the following command to install the Chocolatey package manager:

Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor 3072; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))

After Chocolatey is installed, run the following command to install Git:
```
choco install git -y
```
Visit the ShellHub website and log in to your account.
Generate an access token by clicking on your profile picture and selecting "Profile".
Click on the "Tokens" tab and generate a new token. Copy the token to your clipboard.
Open PowerShell and run the following command to clone the ShellHub repository:
```
git clone https://github.com/shellhub-io/shellhub.git
```
Navigate to the "shellhub" directory by running:
```
cd shellhub
```
Create a new file named ".env" and paste the access token you copied earlier into it by running:
```
echo "SHELLHUB_TOKEN=<your_access_token>" > .env
```
Run the following command to install the dependencies:
```
./install_dependencies.ps1
```
Finally, run the following command to start ShellHub:
