How to install DePay on OpenBSD

In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install DePay, a decentralized payment protocol, onto an OpenBSD system.

Prerequisites

Before we begin the installation process, you will need to ensure that your system has the following:

• OpenBSD 6.9 or higher
• Node.js installed
• Git installed

Installation

1. Launch the terminal on your OpenBSD system.
2. Clone the DePay repository by executing the following command:

   git clone https://github.com/DePayFi/depay-web3-blockchains.git
   

3. Change the directory to the cloned repository:

   cd depay-web3-blockchains
   

4. Install the dependencies using npm:

   npm install
   

5. Before running the application, we need to make a slight modification to the package.json file. Open the package.json file inside the depay-web3-blockchains directory and add -r before the --experimental-vm-modules flag in the "start" script, so that line should now look like this:

    "start": "node -r --experimental-vm-modules ./src",
   

6. Start the application:

   npm start
   

DePay should now be up and running, accessible through your web browser at http://localhost:3000.

Congratulations, you have successfully installed DePay on OpenBSD!
