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://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/windowscontainers/deploy-containers/linux-containers), [https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/windows-ubuntu-hyperv-containers#1-overview](https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/windows-ubuntu-hyperv-containers#1-overview)) or another way would be to [install Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install) and then within that Linux container/environment follow [Build Collabora Online | Collabora Online - Community Page](https://collaboraonline.github.io/post/build-code/#build-code-on-ubuntu) ---

I tried doing the setup using WSL (ubuntu). But the installation commands in [Guide](https://collaboraonline.github.io/post/build-code/#build-code-on-ubuntu) 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? ---
