I have looked all around and can not find any installation instructions for installing on Windows 7. Can anyone point me to where they are at.
Hello,
Nextcloud doesn’t support a Windows installation.
You need a Linux server for the nextcloud installation.
For view month’s I am stand for the same decision.
Before I buyed a extra PC for the Nextcloud I tested Ubuntu (In my case) via Virtual Mashine on Windows 7.
On the VM I had Nextcloud installed.
Best regards,
Christoph
Windows 7 is listed in the supported OS in the manual.
There is not even a good detailed install for Ubuntu or anything else.
Hello,

Install xampp and you can see the information to a linux server.
