Step 1: Update the System

Before we begin, it's always a good idea to update the system packages to their latest versions. To do so, run the following command in the terminal:

3. Move the extracted folder to the /usr/local directory by running:

   sudo mv etebase-server-linux-amd64 /usr/local/

2. Next, start the Etebase server by running:

   sudo ./etebase-server-linux-amd64 run
