Before you start installing PushBits, you need to make sure that the following software is installed on your computer:
You can download Node.js and npm from the official website: https://nodejs.org/en/download/
Open your web browser and go to the following URL: https://github.com/pushbits/server
Once the page has loaded, click on the green "Clone or download" button and select "Download ZIP" from the dropdown menu.
Save the ZIP file to a folder on your computer.
Open the folder where you saved the ZIP file and extract its contents to a new folder on your computer.
Open a command prompt (type "cmd" in the Windows search bar and click on the "Command Prompt" app).
Navigate to the folder where you extracted the ZIP file using the cd command.
Once you are in the folder, run the following command to install the dependencies:
