Download Wekan's start-wekan.bat script. Wekan suggests extracting the Wekan install zip, and then placing start-wekan.bat and node.exe within the bundle directory alongside main.js:

bundle (directory)
  |_ start-wekan.bat (downloaded file)
  |_ node.exe (downloaded file)
  |_ main.js (extracted file)

Afterwards, modify start-wekan.bat and update the ROOT_URL variable, as well as the PORT and MONGO_URL variables if needed.

Run start-wekan.bat to start the server.

Wekan provides a python script for interacting with its REST API.

Prior to using the script, update the username, password and wekanurl variables in lines 79-83.

After the admin user is set up and the API script is configured, add new users using the api.py script:
