As I do not have dedicated server, I am using my laptop for browsing my instance and hosting the MID server.

Does the Mid Server can be hosted on same machine I am browsing ? as I do not have other VM for now...

I have seen on a video that mid server need to be install on a HOSt server ...

thanks for clarification

Hi scal,

the best thing to do is install your own Mid Server on a virtual machine (Linux is free) and follow the steps as described in the documentation Install a MID Server on Linux.

If you have Windows as operating system, have a look here for creating your Linux virtual machine:

Installing a Linux Virtual Machine on Windows
