Hi,
I am looking to run Canvas LMS on my own box. How can I install Canvas LMS on my Windows 10 Box and run it.
Are there any prereqs?
Venkat.

Venkat,
Canvas does not run on Windows. It requires either Mac or Linux. It might run on less common POSIX platforms, but I haven't heard of anyone that has attempted it.

Venkat,
Cody is correct that Canvas does not run natively on Windows. You might however, be able to get it running using Docker for Windows (https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/). I am unaware of anyone who has done this, so you'll be blazing a bit of a trail. Many developers at Instructure use Docker on both Mac and Linux with success. If you look in the repo, you may find the instructions at doc/development_with_docker.md helpful, tho again you'll have to fill in the gaps a bit.
My recommendation would be to install a linux distro like Ubuntu or Fedora into a VM and install Canvas there. Best of luck,
Ben

One thing I'm interested to try is installing Canvas on Windows 10 under the new native Bash integration. Could work, could go horribly wrong!
