In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Trac, an open-source project management system, on NetBSD. Trac is designed to help software development teams manage their projects by providing tools for issue tracking, source code browsing, and wiki pages. Follow the steps below to install Trac on NetBSD.

Prerequisites

Before we start, make sure you have the following prerequisites on your system:

Step 1 - Update the System

Before installing the Trac software, update your systems package manager by running the following command:

Step 3 - Configure Trac

Before we can use Trac, we need to configure it by creating a configuration file. Run the following command as the root user to create the configuration file:

sudo trac-admin /usr/local/trac/tracproj initenv

Replace tracproj with the name of your project. This will create a new Trac environment and generate initial configuration files.

Step 4 - Start Trac

Now that we have installed and configured Trac, we can start the application by running the following command:

sudo tracd --port=8000 /usr/local/trac/

This will start the Trac web server and listen on port 8000. You can access Trac by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:8000.
