Installation of fkill on Different OS.

Installing of fkill in Linux (Ubuntu)

Now let’s see how we can install the fkill on systems. The requirement to install fkill is NodeJS and npm, so first, we need to install the nodejs. Use one of the following commands to install NodeJS according to your OS:

For Debian/Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install nodejs npm

For Arch Linux:

sudo pacman -S nodejs npm

For Fedora / Red Hat 8,9

sudo dnf install nodejs npm

For OSX

sudo brew install nodejs npm

For Windows

Open command prompt or powershell of windows with administratie privileges.

Run the following command:

curl -o nodejs.msi https://nodejs.org/dist/v14.17.0/node-v14.17.0-x64.msi

This will install a 64-bit version of Node.js, if you want to change it you can refer to the official site to pick up the links for download according to your requirement.

Now run the nodejs installer from cli

msiexec /i nodejs.msi /qn

Here `/qn` will run the installer silently without showing the GUI interface, to see the GUI installer interface, just run the same command without `/qn`
