Overcast is a lightweight command line podcast client that is available on various platforms, including NetBSD. It allows you to easily subscribe to and download your favorite podcasts without needing to use a graphical interface. This tutorial will guide you through the steps to install Overcast on NetBSD.
Before you begin, make sure you have the following:
Open a terminal window on your NetBSD system.
Install the rust build toolchain by running the following command:
$ pkgin install rust
Clone the Overcast source code from GitHub by running the following command:
$ git clone https://github.com/andrewchilds/overcast.git
Change into the cloned overcast directory by running the following command:
$ cd overcast
Compile Overcast by running the following command:
$ cargo build --release
The --release flag will enable optimizations, which will make Overcast run faster.
Once the compilation process is complete, you can install Overcast by running the following command:
$ sudo cp target/release/overcast /usr/local/bin/
This command will copy the compiled Overcast binary to the /usr/local/bin/ directory. You will need to use sudo to have the necessary permissions to write to this directory.
Verify that Overcast has been installed correctly by running the following command:
$ overcast --version
This command should display the version number of Overcast.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Overcast on your NetBSD system. You can now start using Overcast to subscribe to and download your favorite podcasts. For more information about how to use Overcast, you can refer to its documentation on GitHub.
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!
