How to Install Warpgate on NetBSD

Warpgate is a high-performance and scalable networking tool used for large-scale distributed systems. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Warpgate on NetBSD.

Prerequisites

Installation

  1. Open the terminal or console on NetBSD by pressing the Ctrl + Alt + T keys.

  2. Install the git package if it is not already installed with the following command:

    pkg_add git
    
  3. Clone the Warpgate repository to your local machine with the following command:

    git clone https://github.com/warp-tech/warpgate.git
    
  4. Change the directory to the Warpgate repository with the following command:

    cd warpgate/
    
  5. Install the required dependencies for Warpgate with the following command:

    pkg_add gmake cmake ninja
    
  6. Run the build process for Warpgate with the following commands:

    mkdir build && cd build
    cmake -GNinja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
    ninja warpgate
    

    This will create a binary executable file named warpgate inside the build directory.

  7. Copy the warpgate file to the /usr/local/bin directory with the following command:

    cp warpgate /usr/local/bin
    
  8. Set the appropriate permissions for the warpgate file with the following command:

    chmod +x /usr/local/bin/warpgate
    
  9. Verify that Warpgate has been installed successfully by running the following command:

    warpgate --version
    

    This command should display the version of Warpgate that has been installed on your machine.

Congratulations, you have successfully installed Warpgate on NetBSD! You can now use it to build large-scale distributed systems.

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!
