Prerequisites

Before you begin the installation process, make sure that your macOS device has the following:

2. Type in the following command to install Node.js:

brew install node

3. Verify if Node.js is installed by typing in the following command:

4. Navigate to a folder where you'd like to save the Wikmd files. In this example, we'll use the Documents folder:

cd ~/Documents

If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!

Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
