How to Install Leed on NetBSD

Leed is an open-source web-based RSS reader that can be easily installed on NetBSD. In this tutorial, we will provide step-by-step instructions for installing Leed on NetBSD.

Prerequisites

Before you start the installation process for Leed on NetBSD, ensure that you have the following:

• NetBSD installed and configured
• An internet connection

Step 1: Install Apache and PHP

Leed requires a web server and PHP to function. To install these packages, open the terminal and execute the following command:

pkgin update
pkgin install apache php

Step 2: Download and Extract Leed

You can download the latest version of Leed from the official GitHub repository. Execute the following commands in the terminal to download and extract Leed to the Apache web root directory:

cd /usr/pkgsrc
fetch https://github.com/LeedRSS/Leed/archive/refs/tags/v1.11.1.tar.gz
tar xzf v1.11.1.tar.gz
cd Leed-1.11.1
cp -r . /usr/local/apache/htdocs/leed

Step 3: Configure Apache

Next, we'll set up Apache to serve the Leed website. Open the Apache configuration file using the command:

nano /usr/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf

Add the following lines to the configuration file:

Alias /leed /usr/local/apache/htdocs/leed/
<Directory /usr/local/apache/htdocs/leed/>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>

Save the file and exit.

Step 4: Start Apache

Now that you've configured Apache and Leed, you can start the Apache server by running the following command:

apachectl start

To make sure Apache is running, open a web browser and browse to http://localhost/leed.

Conclusion
