How to Install KooZic on FreeBSD Latest

KooZic is a music management software that allows you to organize and play your music library. It is an open-source application that is available for free on multiple platforms including FreeBSD. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install KooZic on FreeBSD Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure that your FreeBSD Latest machine is up to date by running the following command in the terminal:

sudo pkg update && sudo pkg upgrade -y

You will also need a user account with sudo privileges to perform the installation process.

Installation process

1. First, you need to install the Python 3 package and its dependencies. Run the following command in the terminal:

sudo pkg install -y python38 py38-pip py38-setuptools

2. Once you have installed Python 3, you need to install the PostgreSQL database server. Run the following command in the terminal:

sudo pkg install -y postgresql13-server

3. After installing the PostgreSQL server, you need to initialize the database and start the service. Run the following commands in the terminal:

sudo service postgresql initdb
sudo service postgresql start

4. Now you will need to create a database and user for KooZic to use. Run the following commands in the terminal:

sudo su - postgres
createuser --interactive
createdb koozic
exit

5. Next, you need to install the KooZic package using pip3. Run the following command in the terminal:

sudo pip3 install koozic

6. After installing KooZic, you need to create a configuration file for it. Run the following command in the terminal:

sudo koozic-config -c /usr/local/etc/koozic.cfg create

7. Now you need to edit the configuration file to point KooZic to the correct database. Run the following command in the terminal to open the file in the nano text editor:

sudo nano /usr/local/etc/koozic.cfg

You will need to update the following settings in the file:

[database]
db_url = postgresql://localhost:5432/koozic
db_name = koozic
db_user = postgres
db_password = <password>

Replace <password> with the password you set for the PostgreSQL user earlier.

8. Finally, you can start the KooZic server by running the following command in the terminal:

sudo koozic-server

Accessing KooZic

Once you have completed the installation process, you can access KooZic by opening your web browser and navigating to http://localhost:8080. You should see the KooZic login page, where you can enter your username and password to access your music library.
