In this tutorial, we will guide you through the step-by-step process of installing the reader software on FreeBSD Latest. reader is an open-source tool that allows you to read and manage documents on your computer. It is available for free on the GitHub repository.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following:
reader requires several libraries and dependencies to run. We need to install them using the pkg command. Open a terminal and run the following command:
sudo pkg install gmake cmake pkgconf qt5-buildtools qt5-widgets
This command will download and install all necessary dependencies on your machine.
Go to the reader GitHub repository using your browser and copy the URL. Open the terminal and navigate to the folder where you want to install the reader software. Use the following command to clone the reader repository:
git clone https://github.com/lemon24/reader.git
Navigate to the cloned reader directory and run the following commands:
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
gmake && sudo gmake install
This command will create a directory named 'build' and configure the source code to install the software on your machine. The gmake command will build the reader software, and the sudo gmake install command will install it on your machine.
Now that we have successfully installed the reader software, we need to run it. Open a terminal and run the following command:
reader
You should see the reader software running on your machine.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed the reader software on your FreeBSD Latest machine. You can use this software to view and manage your documents. If you have any issues or errors during the installation process, please visit the reader GitHub repository for support.
