Dillinger is a web-based markdown editor that allows users to write, edit, and preview markdown documents in real-time. In this tutorial, we will go through the process of installing Dillinger on a Fedora Server.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following:
Dillinger requires Node.js to run. To install Node.js on your Fedora Server, follow these steps:

Update your system's package list by running the following command:
sudo dnf update
Install the Node.js package by running the following command:
sudo dnf install nodejs
Verify the installation of Node.js by running the following command:
node -v
This should display the version number of Node.js installed on your system.
Now that we have Node.js installed, we can proceed with the installation of Dillinger. To install Dillinger, follow these steps:
Open a terminal window and navigate to the directory where you want to install Dillinger.
Clone the Dillinger repository from GitHub by running the following command:
