Installing Glosa on NetBSD

Glosa is an open-source visualization tool that is used to explore large and complex graph-structured data. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of installing Glosa on your NetBSD machine.

Prerequisites

Before we get started with the installation process, please ensure that you have the following:

• A NetBSD machine with root privileges.
• Git installed on your NetBSD machine.
• The latest stable version of Node.js.

Installation

1. Log in to your NetBSD machine with root privileges using SSH or a terminal window.

2. Install Git on your NetBSD machine if it is not already installed. You can do this by running the following command:

   pkgin install git
   

3. Clone the Glosa repository from Github using the following command:

   git clone https://github.com/glosa/glosa-server.git
   

4. Move into the cloned directory using the following command:

   cd glosa-server
   

5. Install the required Node.js packages using the following command:

   npm install
   

6. After the installation is complete, start the Glosa server using the following command:

   npm start
   

7. By default, the Glosa server listens on port 3000. You can access the Glosa server using your web browser by navigating to http://<your-server-IP>:3000. You will see the Glosa server homepage.

   Note: Remember to replace <your-server-IP> with the IP address of your NetBSD machine.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Glosa on your NetBSD machine. You can now use Glosa to visualize your graph-structured data. If you encounter any problems during the installation process, please refer to the official Glosa documentation.

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!
