MeiliSearch is an open-source, lightning-fast search engine that can easily be deployed on your own infrastructure. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing MeiliSearch on FreeBSD Latest.
Before installing MeiliSearch, make sure that your system meets the following requirements:
Before we start installing MeiliSearch, it is crucial to ensure that the FreeBSD system is up to date. Run the following command to update the system:
sudo pkg update && sudo pkg upgrade
MeiliSearch requires several dependencies to be installed on the FreeBSD system. We need to install them using the pkg package manager. Run the following command:
sudo pkg install -y gcc g++ cmake openssl-dev
To install MeiliSearch, we need to first download and extract the MeiliSearch archive. Run the following command to download and extract the MeiliSearch archive:
sudo fetch -o /usr/local/src/meilisearch.tar.gz https://github.com/meilisearch/MeiliSearch/archive/refs/tags/v0.23.0.tar.gz
sudo tar -xzvf /usr/local/src/meilisearch.tar.gz -C /usr/local/src/
Now that we have extracted MeiliSearch, we can compile and install it by running the following commands:
cd /usr/local/src/MeiliSearch-0.23.0/
sudo cmake -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
sudo cmake --build build
sudo cmake --install build
After installing MeiliSearch, we can now start the search engine by running the following command:
./usr/local/bin/meilisearch
You have successfully installed MeiliSearch on FreeBSD Latest. You can now start using it as your preferred search engine.
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!
