How to I run sandbox on my windows laptop?


I've been trying to learn about algorand from last few days.

Unable to setup Algorand Sandbox on my laptop

I tried following tutorial on youtube, but I'm unable to set it up on my laptop.

Nor I'm able to run docker & algorand daemons.

how do i set it up for windows?


Solution

  • Oh yeah i was facing same problem earlier.

    if you're finding it hard to Install & run sandbox.

    Here's what you exactly need to do....

    1. Make sure you've DockerDesktop Installed

      If not watch this video from Algorand youtube playlist to install it.

      Here's link to official playlist by algorand

    2. Make sure you've got UBUNTU WSL (AKA Windows Subsystem Linux) Installed

      if not go to windows store & search ubuntu wsl > Install it.

    3. once you've both docker & ubuntu WSL installed

      you can simply open ubuntu in terminal

    Now you'll need to clone sandbox.

    Clone sandbox from github.

    https://github.com/algorand/sandbox

    once you've cloned sandbox.

    you can run it by using following command

    ./sandbox up
    

    and Violla it works.
