UniqueBibleApp webtop on Windows
This page described how to setup webtop version on Windows.
UniqueBibleApp webtop version is easy to set up if docker is in place.
On Windows, to docker setup may take a few more steps than on macOS or Linux, as users need to set up WSL before they can install docker.
If you prefer not to setup WSL or docker, you can simply setup python library on Windows to run Unique Bible App. We wrote notes about it on another page: https://github.com/eliranwong/UniqueBible/wiki/Install-on-Windows
However, if you appreciate some extra features only available on webtop version, you may follow instructions below to install the webtop version.
WSL version 2 is required for running docker.
Docker is required for running Unique Bible App webtop version.
Therefore, to run Unique Bible App webtop version, users need to set up BOTH WSL version 2 AND docker first.
