Step 1: Install Git

pkgin install git

Step 2: Install Node.js

Node.js is a server-side JavaScript runtime environment. To install Node.js on NetBSD, enter the following command in your terminal:

pkgin install nodejs

Step 3: Install MongoDB

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!
