How to install Notifo on OpenBSD

Notifo is a notification platform that enables developers to quickly and easily send real-time notifications to mobile devices, web browsers, email, and more.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to install Notifo on OpenBSD.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, you will need the following:

• OpenBSD operating system installed and up-to-date
• A user account with sudo privileges
• Git installed

1. Open the terminal and log in as the user with sudo privileges.

2. Install Git by running the following command:

   sudo pkg_add git
   

3. Clone the Notifo repository from GitHub by running the following command:

   git clone https://github.com/notifo-io/notifo.git
   

4. Change to the Notifo directory by running the following command:
