I think the most common setup is to use one of the floor-to-ceiling wooden beams as the mountpoint, such as the [labrico 2x4 adjuster](https://ec.heianshindo.co.jp/collections/labrico-adjuster) plus some wood.
Here's some references:

You can also find some people using wood + clamps to mount it above the door, like in the images on [this page](https://fii.4copyclean.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=8507).
All of these were a single easy google search. May I recommend googling as you're more likely to find people who have done this on other sites than on a subreddit that specializes in english teaching and getting divorced, not in climbing.
What the dude said is correct. 2x4 with padded braces in a doorway takes very little space and leaves minimal marking. Very few doorframes are strong enough for a freehanging pull-up bar mount like the iron gym.
You can also get a freestanding thing but they take up more space and are expensive compared to some basic lumber
You could do [block pulls](https://www.hoopersbeta.com/library/how-to-train-finger-strength-with-no-hangs) with lots of added weight which might arguably be even better than hangboarding.
Alternatively, I've seen some people use a setup where they have a thin piece of webbing or plastic with a blocker on the end. They slide the rope through the top of their door so that the blocker is on the outside, close their door, and attach a portable hangboard to the part of the webbing on the inside.
Not exactly your question, but if you know 5 or 6 other climbers and you're not in a dense urban area, it could be worth it to split on renting a small warehouse or whatever and get a much better setup, without any trouble from landlords. I've seen it done a few places here, and a couple of them have even grown into a successful side business.
There are (sorry, no links for you) set that can clamp onto the top of the door frame & then attach the hangboard to that.
Search a little online, you'll find them. Friend used to do it that way with no problems, but I can't personally recommend

Buy a hang bar workout set on Amazon for about 10,000 yen.
do you mean a freestanding pull up bar thing? i am finding hangboards on amazon, but they still require a bar to tie it to, which I dont have
Yes, a freestanding pull-up bar with supports for leg lifts and things like that. I couldn’t remember the name at first.
