Lura is an open-source image and video optimization software that helps web developers improve website performance by reducing the size and quality of multimedia content. In this tutorial, we will explain how to install Lura on FreeBSD Latest.
Before we begin, make sure that your FreeBSD system is up-to-date by running the following commands:
sudo pkg update

The first step is to install the dependencies required for Lura to run. These dependencies include the cmake package, which is needed for compiling the code, and the jpeg-turbo and libpng libraries, which are used for image compression.
To install these dependencies, run the following command:
sudo pkg install cmake jpeg-turbo libpng
Next, download the latest version of Lura from the official website:
wget https://luraproject.org/downloads/lura-latest.tar.gz
Extract the downloaded archive:
tar -xzf lura-latest.tar.gz
Change the current directory to the extracted Lura directory:
cd lura-latest
Now, compile Lura by running the following command:
mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. && make
This may take some time to complete depending on the speed of your system.
After compiling Lura, install it by running the following command:
sudo make install
This will install Lura on your FreeBSD system.
To test if Lura is installed correctly, run the following command:
lura --version
