Prerequisites

Before you start, you need to make sure that you have the following prerequisites:

Install Node.js

Rallly requires Node.js to run. First, let's make sure that you have Node.js installed on your system. Here's how to check:

Once downloaded, run the following command:
```
source ~/.bashrc
```
This will activate nvm in your current terminal session.
You can now install the latest stable version of Node.js by running the following command:
```
nvm install --lts
```
Verify that Node.js correctly installed with the following command:
```
node -v
```

You should see the version number of Node.js printed out.
