OpenBudgeteer is built using Node.js, a popular JavaScript runtime that lets you build scalable web applications. To install Node.js on MXLinux, run the following command in the terminal:

This command will download and install all of the dependencies needed for OpenBudgeteer to run.
Now that OpenBudgeteer's dependencies have been installed, we can start the application. To do this, run the following command in the terminal:
