Setup Guide

Get OrOrbit up and running in minutes. Windows is supported today; macOS and Linux are coming soon.

Windows

  1. 1
    Download the installer from the downloads page. Run the .exe installer.
  2. 2
    Open OrOrbit and create your profile. No email or password needed — your identity is a cryptographic keypair stored on your device.
  3. 3
    Go to Settings > Server and click Start Server. OrOrbit will set up the database and start the server automatically.
  4. 4
    Create an orbit (your community space), then click Invite to generate a link for your friends.
  5. 5
    Share the invite link. Your friends download OrOrbit and paste the link to join.
Note: The installer automatically adds Windows Firewall rules for OrOrbit. If prompted by Windows Firewall, click Allow.
