Before we begin, please ensure that you have the following:

• A Fedora Server Latest
• A terminal or command-line interface
• A user account with sudo privileges

Step 1: Install Dependencies

First, we need to install some dependencies required for the installation of Groove Basin. Open your terminal and run the following command:

sudo dnf install -y git npm nodejs ffmpeg

• git is required to download the source code from GitHub.

• ffmpeg is required for playing and converting audio files.

Step 2: Download Groove Basin

Once the dependencies are installed, we can proceed to download Groove Basin. Run the following command in your terminal:

git clone https://github.com/andrewrk/groovebasin.git

This will download the source code of Groove Basin in a folder named "groovebasin" under the current directory.

Step 3: Install Groove Basin
