How to Install Lura on NetBSD

This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Lura on NetBSD. Lura is a library for compressing and decompressing images. It can be used to reduce the size of images files while preserving the quality of the image.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have the following requirements in place:

Step 1: Install Dependencies

First, we need to install the dependencies required for Lura. Run the following command in the terminal:

sudo pkgin install gcc gmake pkg-config zlib

This will install the GCC compiler, GMake, the pkg-config utility, and the zlib compression library.

Step 2: Download Lura

Next, we need to download the Lura source code. Go to the Lura website (https://luraproject.org/) and click on the "Download" button. This will take you to the GitHub repository. Click on the "Code" button and select "Download ZIP".

Alternatively, you can clone the repository using Git by running the following command:

git clone https://github.com/luradev/lura.git

Step 3: Compile and Install Lura

Once the source code is downloaded, navigate to the directory where it is saved and run the following commands:

./configure
make
sudo make install

The configure script will check if all the necessary dependencies are installed and set up the build environment. The make command will compile the source code, and the sudo make install command will install the Lura library on your system.

Step 4: Verify Lura Installation

To verify that Lura is installed correctly, run the following command:

lura -V

This will display the version of Lura installed on your system.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Lura on your NetBSD system. You can now use Lura library to compress and decompress image files.
