Notica is a lightweight note-taking software that allows users to create and manage notes on their computers. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Notica on NetBSD, a free and open-source Unix-like operating system.
Before you begin, make sure that your NetBSD system is up-to-date and has the following packages installed:
You can install these packages using the following command:
pkgin update && pkgin install python git
The first step is to clone the Notica repository using Git. Open a terminal window and run the following command to navigate to your home directory:
cd ~
Next, run the following command to clone the Notica repository:
git clone https://github.com/IgnisDa/Notica.git
This will create a directory named Notica in your home directory.
Navigate to the Notica directory by running the following command:
cd Notica
Next, install the required Python packages by running the following command:
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
This will install all the required dependencies for running Notica.
Once the dependencies are installed, you can run Notica using the following command:
python3 notica.py
This will launch Notica in your terminal window.
To make it easier to launch Notica in the future, you can create an alias to run Notica from anywhere in the terminal. Run the following command to open your .bashrc file:
vi ~/.bashrc
Next, add the following line at the end of the file:
alias notica="python3 ~/Notica/notica.py"
Save and close the file by pressing Esc, followed by :wq.
Finally, reload your .bashrc file by running the following command:
source ~/.bashrc
Now you can run Notica from anywhere in the terminal by typing notica and pressing Enter.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed and configured Notica 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!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
