How to install and run Fizzy in Windows?

How to install and run Fizzy in Windows? I am seeing shell commands.
Is WSL needed? Any Windows specific documentation for running this?

The easiest way is to install Docker and run it from a container image.
A “pure” WSL setup is also an option, but you’d need to configure the environment, which isn’t very easy I think.

I actually created a modified "local-first" image and a small WinForms .exe to run it fully locally on Windows without remembering all the docker commands

Not sure if self-promotion links are okay here, but I’ve published all the sources, you can find them on my profile if you’re want

@Tony20221 if you install WSL, and then navigate to fizzy's source code in it, you should be able to run bin/setup and that should set everything up for you.

From there you can rune bin/dev to run the development server locally.

In case you want to run Fizzy in production on Windows, I'd recommend using Docker through WSL and follow our Readme. It will walk you through how to set up a self-hosted instance.

Also, I haven't used Windows in a very long time, so I might not know of a better way if it exists.
