$ git clone https://github.com/chowdown/chowdown.git

After the repository has been cloned, move into the chowdown directory:

$ cd chowdown

Step 3: Install Chowdown.io

Now, you are ready to install Chowdown.io. To do that, run the following command in your terminal:

$ bundle install

This will install Chowdown.io and all its dependencies.

Step 4: Start Chowdown.io

Finally, you can start Chowdown.io by running:

$ bundle exec chowdown serve

This will start the Chowdown.io server, and you can access your site at http://localhost:4567 in your web browser.

Conclusion
