Prerequisites

• NetBSD installed on the server.
• git
• Node.js (version 10 or higher)

Step 1: Install git

The first step is to install git, which is a version control system for tracking changes in code. To install git on NetBSD, run the following command:

$ sudo pkgin install git

Step 2: Install Node.js and NPM

Node.js is required to run the CyTube web application. To install Node.js and NPM on NetBSD, follow these steps:

1. Add the following lines to the /etc/pkgin/repositories.conf file to add the latest pkgsrc:

   http://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/amd64/9.1/All/
   http://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/amd64/9.1/All/SHA512
   

2. Update the package manager:

   $ sudo pkgin update
   

3. Install Node.js and NPM:

   $ sudo pkgin install nodejs npm
   

Step 3: Clone the CyTube Git Repository

Once git and Node.js have been installed, the next step is to clone the CyTube Git repository. Follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the directory where you want to clone the repository:

   $ cd /path/to/directory/
   

2. Clone the CyTube Git repository:

   $ git clone https://github.com/calzoneman/sync.git
   

Step 4: Install CyTube Dependencies

Before running CyTube, we need to install its dependencies. Navigate to the CyTube directory and run the following command:

$ npm install

This command will install all the dependencies listed in the package.json file.

Step 5: Run CyTube

Run the following command to start the CyTube application:

$ npm start

The application should now be running on your NetBSD server, and you can access it from a web browser by visiting http://localhost:8080.

You can customize the application by editing the config.js file in the CyTube directory.
