Installing Archivematica on NetBSD

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Archivematica on NetBSD. Archivematica is a free and open-source digital preservation system that allows users to process, preserve and share digital assets.

Prerequisites

Step 1: Install dependencies

Before we can install Archivematica on NetBSD, we need to install some required dependencies. Run the following command as root:

pkgin install python27 py27-pip py27-virtualenvwrapper py27-lxml swig mediainfo wget ImageMagick NO-PKG-REGISTER-python27

Step 2: Install Elasticsearch

Next, we need to install Elasticsearch. Run the following commands as root:

cd /usr/pkgsrc/textproc/elasticsearch
make install clean

Once the installation process is complete, start Elasticsearch with the following command:

/usr/pkg/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch -d -p /var/run/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.pid

Step 3: Install RabbitMQ

Now we need to install RabbitMQ. Run the following command as root:

pkgin install rabbitmq

To start RabbitMQ, use the following command:

rabbitmq-server -detached

Step 4: Install Archivematica

We can now proceed with the installation of Archivematica. First, we need to download the installation script:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/artefactual/archivematica/stable/1.9.x/scripts/install/archivematica-dashboard

Next, we need to make the script executable:

chmod +x archivematica-dashboard

Finally, run the installation script:

./archivematica-dashboard install

Step 5: Access Archivematica

Once the installation process is complete, you can access Archivematica by visiting http://your_server_ip:8080 in your web browser. You should see the Archivematica interface and be able to begin using the application.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Archivematica on NetBSD.

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!
