Grist is a spreadsheet tool for organizing and analyzing data. It's available for different operating systems, including NetBSD. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Grist on NetBSD.
Before installing Grist, we need to ensure that all the required dependencies are installed. This can be done using the package manager on NetBSD.
sudo pkg_add py38-pip py38-virtualenv git
This command will install the necessary packages.
Next, we will clone the Grist repository from GitHub.
git clone https://github.com/gristlabs/grist-core.git
This will download the repository to your local machine.
Now that we have the repository, we need to create a virtual environment for Grist.
cd grist-core
virtualenv -p python3 env
This will create a virtual environment named "env" in the grist-core directory.
Once the virtual environment is created, we need to activate it.
source env/bin/activate
This will activate the virtual environment, and you'll see "(env)" in front of your terminal prompt.
Finally, we can install Grist using pip.
pip install -e .
This will install Grist in editable mode, which means we can make changes to the code if needed.
To launch Grist, we need to run the grist command.
grist
This will start Grist in your default web browser.
That's it! You've successfully installed Grist on NetBSD. You can now start using Grist to organize and analyze your data.
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!
