    git clone https://github.com/usememos/memos.git
    
  4. Install the Dependencies

    Once you have cloned the Memos repository, navigate to the directory where you cloned it using the cd command. Then, run the following command to install the dependencies:

    npm install
    
  5. Start Memos

    After installing the dependencies, you can start Memos by running the following command in the Terminal app:
