5. Download the OTS font files from the official website at https://ots.fyi/ and extract them to the directory you just created.

6. Install the OTS font files using the npm package manager by running the following command:

   cd ~/otsfonts
   npm i -g ots
   

7. Verify that the installation was successful by running the following command:
