`cd` *make sure you are in the home directory*
Run `cd ~` to ensure that you are currently in the home directory then run the following command to clone the repository into our home directory
`git clone https://github.com/DarkflameUniverse/NexusDashboard.git`
You should now have a directory called `NexusDashboard`
You should now have a directory called `NexusDashboard` present in your home directory
### Setting up
Rename the example settings file
`cp ~/NexusDashboard/app/settings_example.py ~/NexusDashboard/app/settings.py`
Now let's open the settings file we just created and configure some of the settings
`vim ~/NexusDashboard/app/settings.py`
>*Feel free to use any text editor you are more comfortable with instead of vim*
Now let's open the settings file we just created and configure some of the settings with nano as it is a simple text editor that is easy to use
`nano ~/NexusDashboard/app/settings.py`
>*Obviously you can replace this with a text editor of your choice, nano is just the most simple to use out of the ones available by default on most Linux distros*

Inside this file is where you can change certain settings like user registration, email support and other things. In this tutorial I will only be focusing on the bare minimum to get up and running, but feel free to adjust what you would like
