Install Node.js by running the following command:
sudo pkg install node
Verify that Node.js is installed by running the following command:
node -v
You should see the version number of Node.js installed on your system.
Now that you have installed Node.js on your system, you can proceed with downloading and installing Bloben. Follow the steps below:
