MiniNote is an open-source note-taking application developed by muety. It is a lightweight and easy-to-use application that lets you take notes without any distractions. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install MiniNote on FreeBSD Latest.
Before we start, make sure that you have the following prerequisites installed:
Since MiniNote is written in Go, we need to install Go on our system. To install Go, run the following command:
sudo pkg install go
This will download and install the Go programming language on your FreeBSD system.
Next, we need to clone the MiniNote repository from GitHub. To do so, run the following command in your terminal.
git clone https://github.com/muety/mininote.git mininote
This command will clone the MiniNote repository in a folder named mininote.
Once you have cloned the MiniNote repository, you can build it using the following command:
cd mininote
go build
This command will build the MiniNote executable file in the current directory.
To test that MiniNote is working correctly, run the following command:
./mininote
This command will start the MiniNote application, and you should see a blank note-taking window. You can start taking notes by typing in the text field and pressing Enter to create a new line.
To make it easier to start MiniNote, you can create a launcher script in your $PATH. To do so, create a new file mininote.sh in the /usr/local/bin directory with the following content:
#!/bin/sh
/path/to/mininote
Replace /path/to/mininote with the actual path to the MiniNote executable, in this case, it is located in the same directory as the script.
Make the script executable with the following command:
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/mininote.sh
You can now launch MiniNote at any time by running the following command in your terminal or by clicking on the launcher script:
mininote.sh
In this tutorial, we learned how to install MiniNote, an open-source note-taking application, on FreeBSD Latest. We saw how to clone the repository, build the application, and create a launcher script to run MiniNote. Now you can take notes quickly and easily without any distractions.
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!
