GoAccess is an open-source web log analyzer and real-time monitor that can be used to analyze and visualize web server logs. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install GoAccess on NetBSD.
Before we start with the installation, make sure your NetBSD system is up to date, and all necessary packages are installed. You will need root access to complete the installation.
The first step is to install the necessary system packages required by GoAccess. Open a terminal and run the following command to install the packages:
pkgin update
pkgin install gcc make libmaxminddb libmaxminddb-tools libmaxminddb-devel zlib zlib-devel ncurses ncursesw ncursesw-devel
Go to the GoAccess download page https://goaccess.io/download and select the NetBSD version. Copy the link to the latest stable release.
cd /usr/local/src
ftp -o goaccess.tar.gz <download_link>
Use tar to extract the tar archive downloaded.
tar -xzvf goaccess.tar.gz
Navigate to the extracted directory, configure the installation with the following command:
cd goaccess-1.4
./configure --enable-utf8 --enable-geoip=legacy --enable-ssl=openssl
Compile and install GoAccess with the following commands:

Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
