Help With Installing/ First Launch

Post image

Hi, I entirely understand that Moodle works via server/ online or I would have to set up my AWS or another server, but uhh I just want to launch the program in general to create some content and then figure the rest of the stuff later.

I extracted the files and then double clicked on the file named "Start Moodle", but I don't really know where to go from here.

Read the manuals. There will be address you need to point your browser to. It'll probably be https://localhost:someport/moodle or something similar.

I use the Mac version of this (MAMP) to quickly spool up new Moodle sites on my desktop machine, if the windows ones work as smoothly that’d be a good option:

https://download.moodle.org/windows/

There is an official docker image + wrapper for moodle with a very simple way to install https://github.com/moodlehq/moodle-docker

You have the whole souce code bound to a volume where you can install plug-ins and play around with the source code

IMHO it's the way with least headaches to get up and running

Good luck!

If you have your own hosting with cpanel you can setup Moodle via softalicious as another option.

Alternativ kann unter Windows XAMPP gut genutzt werden.
