Neko is a high-level dynamic programming language designed for building scalable, robust, and cross-platform applications. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Neko on FreeBSD Latest.
Before proceeding with this tutorial, you should have a working FreeBSD Latest installation with root access.
Before installing Neko, we need to install its dependencies. Run the following command as root to install them:
pkg install gmake cmake llvm10 boehm-gc
Once the installation is complete, we can move on to the next step.
To download the Neko source code, we will use the Git version control system. Run the following command to install Git:
pkg install git
Next, clone the Neko repository from GitHub using Git:
git clone https://github.com/HaxeFoundation/neko.git
Once the repository is cloned, navigate to the directory:
cd neko
Now we can compile and install Neko by running the following commands:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make -j$(sysctl -n hw.ncpu)
make install
This may take some time, depending on your system specifications.
Once the installation is complete, we can test Neko by running the following command:
neko -v
This should display the version of Neko that was just installed.
We can also test Neko by creating and running a simple "Hello, World!" program. Create a new file named "hello.neko" and add the following code:
print('Hello, World!')
Save and exit the file.
Now execute the program by running the following command:
neko hello.neko
This should output "Hello, World!" to the terminal.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Neko on FreeBSD Latest. You can now use Neko to build and run cross-platform applications on your FreeBSD system.
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!
