3A0) FOR LINUX

So :

• node.js is a javascript server tool that we will use to run gtp2ogs later
• gtp2ogs is a javascript program used to communicate in both directions (in and out) in GTP language between your AI bot engine (example : PhoenixGo, leela zero, etc..) and the OGS distant board where the game is played
• npm (node package manager) is a package manager that we will use to install gtp2ogs

In this tutorial we use the example of ubuntu because it’s a famous and easy to use linux distribution, but it should work with any linux distribution, especially the most common ones (some steps may slightly differ though)
