HPCBIOS is a package for high-performance computing that provides a BIOS-like interface for controlling distributed systems. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install HPCBIOS on NetBSD.
Before proceeding with the installation of HPCBIOS, make sure your system meets the following requirements:
HPCBIOS requires Python 3.x, Git and GCC to be installed on the system. To install these packages, open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo pkgin install python37 git-base gcc7
This command will install Python 3.7, Git and GCC 7 on your system.
Next, we need to clone the HPCBIOS repository from GitHub. To do this, execute the following command in the terminal:
git clone https://github.com/lanl/HPCBIOS.git
This command will download the HPCBIOS source code from GitHub to your system.
After we have cloned the HPCBIOS repository, the next step is to build it. To do this, navigate to the HPCBIOS directory using the following command:
cd HPCBIOS
Then, build HPCBIOS by executing the make command:
make
This command will compile the HPCBIOS code and generate the executable file, hpcbios.
To install HPCBIOS system-wide, execute the following command:
sudo make install
This command will copy the hpcbios executable to the /usr/local/bin directory.
Now that HPCBIOS is installed, we can test it by executing the hpcbios command in the terminal:
hpcbios
This command will display the available options for HPCBIOS.
By following these simple steps, you have successfully installed HPCBIOS on NetBSD. You can now use HPCBIOS to control and manage distributed systems on NetBSD.
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!
