How to Install FLAP on NetBSD

FLAP is a command-line utility that allows you to manage and deploy applications to the cloud. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing FLAP on NetBSD.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure that you have the following requirements:

Step 1 - Install Dependencies

First, we need to install some dependencies which are required for FLAP to run. To do this, run the following command:

pkgin install gmake gcc cmake libarchive libyaml libcurl libssl libarchive

Step 2 - Download and Unpack the FLAP Package

Next, we need to download the FLAP package from the official website. Run the following command to download the package:

wget https://www.flap.cloud/dist/linux/amd64/flap.tar.gz

Once the download is complete, extract the files from the tarball with the following command:

tar xzf flap.tar.gz

This will create a new directory named flap.

Step 3 - Install FLAP

To install FLAP on NetBSD, we need to run the following command inside the flap directory:

make install

This will compile, link and install the FLAP binary in /usr/local/bin/flap.

Step 4 - Verify the Installation

Finally, we can verify if the installation of FLAP is successful by running the following command:

flap version

This command should display the version number of FLAP.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed FLAP on NetBSD. Now you can easily deploy your applications to the cloud using FLAP.

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!
