2. After adding the repository, run the following command to install Node.js:

   sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
   

3. Verify that Node.js is installed correctly by running the following command:

   node -v
   

   It should output the version number of Node.js that you have installed.

Step 3: Install Inventaire

Now that you have installed Node.js on your system, you can proceed with installing Inventaire using the following steps:

1. Clone the Inventaire repository from GitHub to your local machine by running the following command:

   git clone https://github.com/inventaire/inventaire.git
   

2. Change your current directory to the Inventaire repository by running the following command:

   cd inventaire
   

3. Install the required Node.js modules and dependencies by running the following command:

   npm install
   

4. Start the Inventaire server by running the following command:

   npm start
   

5. Open your web browser and go to http://localhost:3000. You should see the Inventaire login page.
