Before installing any software on your FreeBSD system, it's important to update your system to make sure that you have the latest patches and security updates installed. To do this, run the following command:

This will update and upgrade all the packages on your system.
Node.js is a JavaScript runtime that is required to run LittleLink Custom. To install Node.js on your FreeBSD system, run the following command:

Git is the version control system used by LittleLink Custom. To install Git on your FreeBSD system, run the following command:

Now that you have Node.js and Git installed on your system, you can clone the LittleLink Custom repository from GitHub. To do this, run the following command:
