Plainpad is a simple text editor for the macOS operating system. However, with the help of WINE, it can also be installed and run on FreeBSD Latest. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Plainpad on FreeBSD Latest.
Open a terminal on your FreeBSD Latest system.
Type the following command to download the Plainpad installation file:
wget https://alextselegidis.com/get/plainpad/
Once the file has finished downloading, navigate to the directory where the file is located:
cd Downloads/
Now you need to install Plainpad using WINE. To do that, run the following command:
wine Plainpad.app.zip
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process.
Once the installation is complete, you can launch Plainpad from the command line using the following command:
wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Plainpad/Plainpad.exe
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Plainpad on your FreeBSD Latest system. You can now use it to create and edit plain text files like a pro.
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!
