A server will now start on port :5566, and be accessible from your web browser at http://localhost:5566/. I highly suggest creating a NGINX reverse proxy for this, especially if you plan to point this to a domain.

## Windows ## Windows
Windows is currently not supported by aidxnFUN yet. I suggest you use WSL, and follow the Ubuntu instructions, or purchase a VPS. Windows support is still in the works, however it is possible to run aidxnFUN under Windows.
1. Install NodeJS and NPM for Windows from [nodejs.org](https://nodejs.org/)
2. Open a Node.js command prompt
3. Clone the repo
```bat
git clone https://github.com/ihatenodejs/aidxnFUN
cd aidxnFUN
```
4. Build the app
```bat
npm run winbuild
```
5. Run the app on port 5566
You may use the `PORT` variable to set a custom port. While Windows tends to default to 3000, we will use 5566, which is the default for aidxnFUN on Linux.
```bat
set PORT=5566 && node app.js
```
