Hi,can someone suggest me a document or steps to get sandbox activated and running on windows 7. Thanks in advance.

As Windows 7 is no more supported by Docker, the simplest solution may be to use an Ubuntu VM in VirtualBox for example. You may also want to check https://superuser.com/questions/1163594/how-to-install-docker-on-windows-7-machine but it is likely that you will face many issues. Note also that since Windows 7 not supported by Microsoft, it is no more recommended to use it (and actually can lead to serious security issues): https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-7-end-of-life-support-information, https://www.forbes.com/sites/daveywinder/2020/01/14/windows-7-crazy-high-security-risk-as-crypto-exploit-found-in-audio-files/

Welcome @Prabhakaran258 glad you are here building! Please have a look at these Windows instructions for requirements (git and docker), installation and usage: [image] algorand/sandbox - Windows Algorand node sandbox. Contribute to algorand/sandbox development by creating an account on GitHub.

Thanks for response @ryanRfox ,I followed that above github guide as you suggest and following docker document ,but it doesn’t provide documentation for windows 7, it give only for windows 10. https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/install/ so my doubt is “Is this possible we can get sandbox activated and running on windows 7 ?”
