How do you run this demo on Windows?

Hi Anders,

Great demo software on blockchain! Thank you for creating and sharing it!

This is not an issue but a question on the installation instructions. How could one run this application on Windows machine using Internet Information Service (IIS) or using XAMPP? I am not very technical, so apologies for what might be a simple question.

Also, would it be possible for other users on their separate machines to connect to the demo application and simultaneously update the blockchain? That is if one is able to run the application on a local host and having users connect and update their blockchains.

Thanks again and all the best,
Rumen

Windows 10 can run Linux, so why not try it? https://www.howtogeek.com/249966/how-to-install-and-use-the-linux-bash-shell-on-windows-10/

@RumenLazarov I've made a couple of changes to make slightly user friendly.

Install Nodejs and npm from here
Clone the repo until the #32 is merged

git clone https://github.com/prahaladbelavadi/blockchain-demo

Navigate into the repo

cd ./blockchain-demo

install npm dependencies

npm install

Start the node server

node ./bin/blockchain-demo.js
