How to Install Cloud Foundry on NetBSD

Cloud Foundry is an open-source platform as a service (PaaS) that allows developers to build, deploy, and run applications. In this guide, we will walk you through the installation process of Cloud Foundry on NetBSD.

Step 1: Verify System Requirements

Before installing Cloud Foundry on NetBSD, ensure that your system meets the following requirements:

• NetBSD version 7.x or higher
• At least 2 GB of RAM
• At least 10 GB of available disk space
• A minimum of 4 CPU cores

Step 2: Install Dependencies

Cloud Foundry requires several dependencies to be installed before installation. Follow the steps below to install them.

1. Open the terminal on your NetBSD OS.

2. Install the required dependencies using the following command:

pkgin update && pkgin install bison cmake git go go-tools gpgme hwloc libzmq3-dev lua53 ncurses pcre2 pcre2-tools pkg-config protobuf py38-protobuf python38 readline ruby26 sqlite3 yaml-cpp yasm

3. Once the installation is complete, verify the installation by running the following command:

cf version

The command should display the Cloud Foundry version information, indicating that you have successfully installed the dependencies.

Step 3: Install Cloud Foundry

Once you have installed the dependencies, you can install Cloud Foundry by following these steps:

1. Download the Cloud Foundry CLI from the official website (https://github.com/cloudfoundry/cli/releases). Choose the appropriate installer for your NetBSD version and architecture.

2. Extract the downloaded installation file to a directory on your system.

3. Navigate to the extracted directory and run the installation script using the following command:

./install_powerpc64.sh

Note: If you are using a different architecture, replace "powerpc64" with your architecture variable. You can check the supported architectures at https://github.com/cloudfoundry/cli/releases.

4. Once the installation is complete, verify the installation by running the following command:

cf version

The command should display the Cloud Foundry version information, indicating that you have successfully installed Cloud Foundry on NetBSD.
