Now, run the following command to install GoSƐ:
sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt
sudo python3 setup.py install
This will install GoSƐ on your computer.
Before you start using GoSƐ, you need to configure it. Navigate to the gose directory and create a new file named config.json using your preferred text editor:
cd gose
nano config.json
Paste the following configuration into the file:

"password": "your_password",
"port": 8080,
"logLevel": "info",
"dataPath": "/path/to/your/data/directory",
"allowAdminPasswordChange": true
}
Replace your_username and your_password with your preferred username and password. Set the dataPath variable to the directory where you want to store your data.
