Hello Gabriela, Thank you for introducing yourself and sharing some background on your technical needs and interest in Arches. Regarding the current Arches demo site, we are in the process of upgrading it to v5. I don't have the exact date of when it will go live, but we will definitely announce it here once it's available. In the meantime, as you are currently working on an earlier demo version, I can ask my colleagues to shed some light on your questions.
To follow up on your installation question, have you seen the updated Implementation Considerations <https://www.archesproject.org/implementation-considerations/> document? This resource describes requirements and recommended technical skills to install, configure and customize Arches. As for a step-by-step Windows guide, I can direct you to a a coupe of forums posts with helpful information. If you would like to ask follow up questions there, I'm confident you will get feedback from the group. https://groups.google.com/d/msg/archesproject/YzQ9qqvCiOA/XI3D-3i0BQAJ https://groups.google.com/d/msg/archesproject/qB7R9IF_o6s/8h0rUTbuCAAJ I hope this information is helpful for now. We will keep you posted on the upgraded Arches demo site and hope to announce it soon.
