Having problem isntalling on windows

Troubleshooting
1

Hi there, I’m also trying to install silverbullet on my local computer which is windows but I’m facing some issues.

I was following the documentation to install it with deno using powershell but I’m running into an issue where the following command generates the error message that the “sh” term isn’t recognized as a name of a cmdlet.

curl -fsSL https://deno.land/install.sh | sh

I’ve been trying to follow google and some youtube videos but so far no success.

I’d appreciate your help thank you.

Running windows 11 Admin in powershell.

Ok so it seems I have to do something to get bash commands running on windows

Any suggestions on what to use?

You are using the Linux installation command for Deno, you can find the commands for other operating systems here: Installation

If all you want to do is run Silverbullet you can also just grab the latest release version from Github and run the .exe with the space path as a parameter the same way you would after installing it with Deno: Release 0.10.1 · silverbulletmd/silverbullet · GitHub

Thank you. I’ll try that after work and post here if I run into any issues.

Although I haven’t tested windows builds recently, another approach can be to download the windows binary for a particular release, for instance: Release 0.10.4 · silverbulletmd/silverbullet · GitHub which for Windows is: https://github.com/silverbulletmd/silverbullet/releases/download/0.10.4/silverbullet-server-windows-x86_64.zip

This extracts into a single binary (silverbullet.exe) you should just be able to run from the command line and is self contained (so no need to install even Deno).

@zef Do you know if by following this path is it still possible to set it up in my local network?

The thing is that even though I have it right now on my VPS, due to storage concerns I want to take it to my windows machine or if necessary, and to make things easier just remove the dust from a mini PC I have laying around and get Ubuntu server to install it there.
