JavaScript Prerequisites for Linux OS

To ensure compatibility with this script, install Node.js version 16.0.0 or higher (but avoid the latest experimental versions to minimize issues). Here’s a detailed guide for downloading and installing the prerequisites on a Linux machine using Node.js:

Prerequisites

1. Node.js: Ensure Node.js and npm (Node Package Manager) are installed on your Linux box.

    sudo apt update

   sudo apt install nodejs npm -y

2. Required Libraries: Use Node.js to handle HTTP requests (node-fetch) and HMAC signing (built-in crypto module).

Node.js Script

Here’s an equivalent Node.js script that mimics your Google Apps Script functionality, including HMAC generation and API requests.

1. Create a New Directory for Your Project:

   mkdir virtru-api-script
   cd virtru-api-script

2. Initialize a New Node.js Project:

   npm init -y

3. Install Dependencies:

   • Install node-fetch for handling HTTP requests.

   npm install node-fetch@2
   install axios dotenv

4. Environment Variables:
   Create a .env file in the project root and add your API token details:

   API_TOKEN=<your_api_token>
   API_TOKEN_ID=<your_api_token_id>
