Docker provides a portable way to run the application on any OS and architecture. It's been tested on various Linux distributions and architectures, Mac OS (Apple Silicon, but should also work on Intel), and Windows 11 with WSL 2.
This should work with any version of docker (e.g. Docker Desktop, docker.io, docker-ce, etc.).
If you don't have docker installed and don't have a preference, then follow the official instructions.
Copy docker/config.toml.example to docker/config.toml and edit it for your Benro Polaris.
Identify your local time zone using one of the TZ identifier options listed here. For example:

To run on Windows with Alpaca, simply run the following command from a terminal, setting your local time zone using one of the TZ identifier options listed here. For example:
TIME_ZONE="America/Vancouver"
./docker/run.sh -t "America/Vancouver"
If the image doesn't exist, then it will be built automatically. Otherwise, if you want to rebuild it, then run the following:
./docker/run.sh -b -t "America/Vancouver"
