Joplin is a note-taking and to-do application that is popular for its open-source and cross-platform functionality. If you are a NetBSD user and want to install Joplin, this tutorial will guide you through the installation process.
To begin, we need to install the required dependencies before we can install Joplin. Open your terminal and run the following command to update the package index:
sudo pkgin update
After that, run the following command to install Node.js and other required Node.js packages:
sudo pkgin install nodejs npm libtool libuuid gmake pkg-config python3
Now that we have installed the required dependencies, we can proceed to download and install Joplin. Run the following command to clone the Joplin repository from GitHub:
git clone https://github.com/laurent22/joplin.git
After cloning the repository, navigate to the Joplin project directory and run the following commands:
npm install
npm run dist
The above commands will install the required dependencies for Joplin and create a distributable package that you can install on your NetBSD system.
After the package has been created, navigate to the ./dist directory and find the Joplin-x.x.x.tar.gz package file (where x.x.x is the version number). Extract the package by running the following command:
tar zxvf Joplin-x.x.x.tar.gz
Next, navigate to the extracted directory and run the following command to install Joplin:
sudo sh install.sh
The installation process will copy the Joplin files to the appropriate location on your NetBSD system.
Once the installation is complete, you can launch Joplin by running the following command:
joplin
Joplin should launch, and you can start using it to take notes and manage your to-do lists.
This is the complete guide on how to install Joplin on NetBSD. By following these steps, you should be able to install Joplin on your NetBSD system and start using it to manage your notes and tasks.
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!
