Clonezilla is a free open-source software for disk imaging and cloning. In this tutorial, we will show you the step-by-step process of installing Clonezilla on FreeBSD Latest.
Before installing Clonezilla, we need to update the Ports Tree to make sure we have access to the most recent updates.
# portsnap fetch update
Clonezilla requires several dependencies to run, including Partclone and DRBL. To install these dependencies, run the following command:
# pkg install partclone drbl
Clonezilla can be downloaded from the official website at http://clonezilla.org/. You can either download the source code or the ISO image depending on your preference.
After downloading the Clonezilla file, extract its contents to a directory of your choice. We recommend creating a new directory for Clonezilla.
# tar xvf clonezilla-<version>.tar.gz -C /usr/local/src
Now that we have extracted the contents of the Clonezilla file, we can build and install it.
# cd /usr/local/src/clonezilla-<version>
# make install clean
This process may take a few minutes, depending on your machine's speed.
After completing the installation, you can test Clonezilla by running the command:
# clonezilla
If the command runs and launches Clonezilla, then the installation was successful. You can now use Clonezilla for disk imaging and cloning.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Clonezilla on FreeBSD Latest!
