The installation process may take a few minutes.
Now, we need to clone the Glosa repository from GitHub. Open Terminal and enter the following command:
git clone https://github.com/glosa/glosa-server.git
This will create a directory named glosa-server on your computer.
Navigate to the glosa-server directory by entering the following command:
cd glosa-server
Now, we need to install the dependencies required to run Glosa. Enter the following command to install the dependencies:
npm install
This command will download and install all the required dependencies.
To start the Glosa server, enter the following command:
npm start
The server will start running on localhost:8080.
