Neko is a lightweight virtual machine designed for dynamic languages like Haxe, Lua, and JavaScript. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of installing Neko on NetBSD.
Before we get started, make sure you have:
First, we need to install some dependencies that Neko requires. Open your terminal and run the following command:
sudo pkg_add gcc readline libgc libiconv libintl libyaml
This command installs GCC, Readline, libgc, libiconv, libintl, and libyaml packages.
We will install Neko from its official website. Run the following command in your terminal to download and extract the latest version of Neko:
cd /tmp && fetch https://github.com/HaxeFoundation/neko/releases/download/v2-3-0/neko-2.3.0.tar.gz && tar -zxvf neko-2.3.0.tar.gz
Navigate to the extracted directory:
cd neko-2.3.0
Now we can compile and install Neko. Run the following commands in your terminal:
./configure
make
sudo make install
The above commands will configure, compile, and install Neko on your system.
To verify that Neko is installed correctly, run the following command:
neko -v
If Neko is installed successfully, you will see output like this:
NekoVM 2.3.0 (c)2005-2020 Haxe Foundation
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Neko on NetBSD.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Neko on NetBSD. Now, you can start using Neko to run dynamic languages such as Haxe, Lua, and JavaScript on your system.
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!
