- Have Node.js (v14 or above) and npm installed onto your pc (or server?) first?
- run `git pull` # to be in the latest version.
- Make `proxies.txt` amd `uas.txt` if it doesn't exist in the data folder. (if it does exist then ignore this part.)
- run `npm install` in the terminal (im assuming you are useing ubuntu, or windows terminal....)
- and then run `npm run dev` to start the server!
