Packman is package management software designed specifically for video game console platforms. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Packman on FreeBSD Latest.
Before installing Packman, it's important to ensure that your FreeBSD system is up-to-date. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal:
sudo freebsd-update fetch install
This will fetch the latest updates for your FreeBSD system and install them on your system.
Before we install Packman, we need to install its dependencies. Run the following command to install the required dependencies:
sudo pkg install -y python3 py37-pip
This command installs both Python 3 and pip.
After installing the dependencies, we need to install a virtual environment for Packman. A virtual environment is an isolated environment that allows us to install Python packages without interfering with the system's default Python installation.
Run the following command to create a virtual environment for Packman:
sudo pip install virtualenv
cd ~
virtualenv packman-env
This will create a new virtual environment called packman-env in your home directory.
After creating the virtual environment, we need to activate it by running the following command:
source ~/packman-env/bin/activate
This will activate the virtual environment, and all the Python packages we install will be installed in this environment.
After activating the virtual environment, we can now install Packman. Run the following command to install Packman:
sudo pip install packman
This will install Packman in your virtual environment.
To verify that Packman is installed correctly, run the following command:
packman version
This command will display the version of Packman installed on your system.
That's it! You have successfully installed Packman on FreeBSD Latest. You can now use Packman to manage packages for your video game console platforms. If you encounter any issues during the installation process, refer to the official Packman documentation for more information.
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!
