Factor is a programming language that is designed to be both interactive and efficient. It is free and open-source and works on multiple platforms, including FreeBSD. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps needed to install Factor on FreeBSD Latest.
Before we start, you should have the following:
The first step is to install the required packages. These packages are necessary for Factor to run correctly. To install the packages, type the following command:
sudo pkg install git gcc gmp
This command will install Git, GCC, and GMP on your system.
The next step is to clone the Factor repository using Git. To do this, run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/factor/factor.git
This command will download the Factor source code to a directory named "factor."
The next step is to compile Factor. To do this, navigate to the "factor" directory by running the following command:
cd factor
Once you are in the "factor" directory, run the following command to compile Factor:
make
This command will compile Factor and create a binary executable named "factor." Once the compilation is complete, you can run Factor by typing the following command:
./factor
To ensure that Factor is installed correctly, you can run a quick test. Type the following command to start the Factor listener:
./factor -i=listener
Once the listener is started, type the following command:
"Hello, World!" print
If Factor is installed correctly, you should see "Hello, World!" printed on the screen.
You have successfully installed Factor on FreeBSD Latest. You can now use Factor to develop interactive and efficient applications.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
