How to Install Typesense on NetBSD

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Typesense on NetBSD.

Prerequisites

• A NetBSD machine
• Basic knowledge of command-line interface

Step 1 - Install Dependencies

Before installing Typesense, we need to make sure that the required dependencies are installed on the system.

Open a terminal and type the following command to install the dependencies:

pkgin update && pkgin -y install gcc make g++ curl wget

Step 2 - Download Typesense

Visit the Typesense downloads page to check for the latest version of Typesense.

Next, download the Typesense package by running the following command:

wget https://dl.typesense.org/releases/0.21.0/typesense-server-0.21.0.tar.gz

Step 3 - Extract the Package

Once the download is completed, extract the Typesense package by running the following command:

tar -xvzf typesense-server-0.21.0.tar.gz

Step 4 - Configure Typesense

After extraction, navigate to the Typesense directory and configure the Typesense service using the following command:

cd typesense-server-0.21.0/
sudo ./typesense-server --setup --nodes 1 --listen-interface 0.0.0.0

The "--nodes 1" flag indicates that you are running one node in the Typesense cluster, and "--listen-interface 0.0.0.0" sets the network interface. Change this value to match your system's interface.

Step 5 - Start Typesense

Finally, start Typesense on your NetBSD machine by running the following command:

sudo ./typesense-server --data-dir ./typesense-data

Conclusion

That's it! You have successfully installed Typesense on your NetBSD machine. You can now start using Typesense API to perform full-text search queries.

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!
