Welcome to the world of Appwrite! In this guide, we will walk you through the installation and setup of Appwrite, a backend platform for building Web, Mobile, and Flutter applications. Buckle up, as we make this journey user-friendly and straightforward!

Installation

Appwrite is designed to run in a containerized environment. Imagine setting up your Appwrite server is like launching a rocket: with the right preparations, you’ll soar high and reach your destination quickly.

You can run Appwrite either on your localhost using Docker or through container orchestration tools like Kubernetes. Below are the steps to get you started quickly!

Unix Installation

• Ensure you have Docker installed.
• Run the following command in your terminal:

docker run -it --rm \
    --volume /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
    --volume $(pwd)/appwrite:/usr/src/code/appwrite:rw \
    --entrypoint=install \
    appwrite/appwrite:1.6.0

Windows Installation

Choose your command line interface:

CMD

docker run -it --rm ^
    --volume /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock ^
    --volume %cd%/appwrite:/usr/src/code/appwrite:rw ^
    --entrypoint=install ^
    appwrite/appwrite:1.6.0

PowerShell

docker run -it --rm \
    --volume /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
    --volume $pwd/appwrite:/usr/src/code/appwrite:rw \
    --entrypoint=install \
    appwrite/appwrite:1.6.0

After the installation is complete, navigate to http://localhost in your browser to access the Appwrite console.

One-Click Setups

If you prefer a ready-made solution, you can opt for one-click setups from various providers. This is like jumping on a pre-launched shuttle instead of building it yourself. Here are some providers:

• DigitalOcean
• Gitpod
• Akamai Compute
• AWS Marketplace

Getting Started

To get the most out of Appwrite, create a new project and integrate the SDK for your chosen platform. The process is as smooth as gliding through the clouds!

Supported Platforms

• Web: Quick start for Web
• Mobile: Quick start for React Native
• Server: Quick start for Node.js

Troubleshooting

Running into issues? Do not fret; every rocket launch has a few hiccups! Below are some troubleshooting tips:

• Ensure that Docker is installed and running correctly.
• If the server takes long to start, give it a few minutes; non-Linux hosts can be slower.
• If you experience issues with accessing http://localhost, double-check your Docker setup.
• For advanced configurations, review your environment variables based on the documentation.
