How to Install OpenZiti on NetBSD

OpenZiti is a networking service that creates a virtual network overlay for applications. In this tutorial, we will go over how to install OpenZiti on NetBSD.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure that you have the following:

• A NetBSD machine
• Root access to the machine
• Internet connection
• Basic understanding of the command line

Step 1: Update NetBSD

First, update your NetBSD machine to the latest version. To do this, run the following command:

# pkgin update
# pkgin full-upgrade

This will update all the packages on your system to the latest versions.

Step 2: Install Dependencies

Next, we need to install the dependencies required to build and run OpenZiti. Run the following command to install the dependencies:

# pkgin install gmake gcc openssl libtool automake autoconf libuuid

Step 3: Download OpenZiti Source Code

Download the source code of OpenZiti from the official website using the following command:

# git clone https://github.com/openziti/openziti.git

This will download the OpenZiti source code in a directory named openziti.

Step 4: Build OpenZiti

To build OpenZiti, navigate to the directory where the source code was cloned using the following command:

# cd openziti

Then, build OpenZiti using the following command:

# ./tools/build.sh

Once the build process is completed, you will find the OpenZiti binaries in ./target/.

Step 5: Install OpenZiti

To install OpenZiti, run the following command:

# make install PREFIX=/usr/local/openziti

This will install OpenZiti binaries in /usr/local/openziti/ directory.

Step 6: Set Environment Variables

Finally, we need to set some environment variables for OpenZiti to work correctly. Add the following lines to your shell configuration file (e.g. ~/.bashrc):

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/openziti/lib
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/openziti/bin

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we learned how to install OpenZiti on NetBSD by following the steps mentioned above. You should now be able to start using OpenZiti as a networking service on your NetBSD machine.
