How to Install Rustpad on NetBSD

Rustpad is a free and open-source collaborative text and code editor that can be installed on NetBSD. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to install Rustpad on NetBSD:

1. Install the required dependencies

Before installing Rustpad, you need to make sure you have the required dependencies installed on your NetBSD system. To do this, open the terminal and enter the following command:

sudo pkgin install gcc g++ cmake ninja pkg-config libgtk-3-dev libssl-dev

This command will install the necessary packages for Rustpad to run on your system.

2. Clone the Rustpad Repository

Once you have installed the dependencies, you need to clone the Rustpad repository from GitHub. To do this, enter the following command in the terminal:

git clone https://github.com/rustpad/rustpad.git

This will clone the Rustpad repository to your local machine.

3. Build Rustpad

Now that you have the Rustpad repository on your machine, you need to navigate to the rustpad directory and build the application. To do this, enter the following commands in the terminal:

cd rustpad
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -GNinja
ninja

This will build Rustpad on your NetBSD system.

4. Start Rustpad

After the build process is complete, you can start Rustpad by entering the following command in the terminal:

./rustpad

This will launch Rustpad on your NetBSD system.

Congratulations, you have successfully installed Rustpad on your NetBSD system! You can now use Rustpad as a collaborative text and code editor.

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!
