I cloned the collabora-online repo into my local windows machine, but then not able to proceed any further with the setup process. Kindly help.

Yeah, I went through the above link. It has gitpod setup for windows. That ran perfectly. But I want to run it on my local windows machine in VS code.
@suraj123 I see. To run it locally an option would be to install Linux in a container via docker (Linux containers on Windows 10 | Microsoft Learn, https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/windows-ubuntu-hyperv-containers#1-overview) or another way would be to install Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) and then within that Linux container/environment follow Build Collabora Online | Collabora Online - Community Page
I tried doing the setup using WSL (ubuntu). But the installation commands in Guide have become deprecated and obsolete. So I am getting a lot of errors.
It would be great if the setup instructions are updated and also if possible add the guide for Windows as well.
Sorry to hear that @suraj123. Could you please share here which errors are you encountering. Is it related to any of the required dependencies?
