Installing Dashing on NetBSD

Dashing is a simple and efficient framework for building real-time dashboards. Here are the steps to install Dashing on NetBSD:

Prerequisites

Before we start, make sure that you have the following packages installed on your NetBSD system:

• Ruby 2.2 or newer
• Bundler

If you don't have Ruby and Bundler installed, you can install them by running the following command:

# pkgin install ruby bundler

Step 1: Install Dashing

To install Dashing, run the following command:

$ gem install dashing

Step 2: Create a new Dashing application

To create a new Dashing application, run the following command:

$ dashing new my_dashboard

Replace my_dashboard with the name of your dashboard. This will create a new directory named my_dashboard with the basic structure of a Dashing application.

Step 3: Start the Dashing server

To start the Dashing server, change to the directory where you created your Dashing application and run the following command:

$ dashing start

This will start the Dashing server on your NetBSD system.

Step 4: Access your dashboard

You can now access your dashboard by opening your web browser and visiting http://localhost:3030. You should see the default Dashing dashboard.

Conclusion

You have now successfully installed Dashing on NetBSD, created a new Dashing application, started the Dashing server, and accessed your dashboard. You are now ready to start building your own real-time dashboards with Dashing.
