convert code to app with use of macbook

Hello everybody,
I'm new to the forum and actually new to domotica as well. Unfortunately I got informed incorrectly and now I have spend quite some money on an alarm system with use of homey (shit advice I guess), which does not work.
But now I have the gear and I would like to have it working as well. Most stuff is working only the main control; a zipato keypad is not working. Now I looked around and found a code for this keypad (groovy) on github. I tried to convert this to an app with some instructional videos on youtube (I'm not a programmer) but I keep getting stuck and can't find a good instruction on how to convert code to an app with use of a macbook.
I have seen the start up guide at the website but for some reason already with the first command line it gives an error; $ npm install -g athom-cli -bash: $: command not found
Does anybody has this or can I better put my homey on ebay?
Regard,
Klaas

But is should work with:

To answer your question: first install node https://nodejs.org/en/ Then the npm commands are available. Note that, depending on your computer settings, you might need to add sudo in front of the commands.
However, making an app is not done that easy, maybe you can describe the issues you are having with your zipato keypad and the community can help you. In addition, maybe you can contact the developer of the Zipato app to add the keypad to the app.
