Exatorrent is an open-source, multi-platform BitTorrent client written in Node.js. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Exatorrent on NetBSD.
Before we begin, make sure your NetBSD system meets the following prerequisites:
If you don't already have Git installed on your NetBSD system, you can install it using the following command:
sudo pkg_add git
This command will install Git and its dependencies on your system.
Clone the Exatorrent repository from GitHub using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/varbhat/exatorrent.git
This command will create a new directory called "exatorrent" in your current working directory and download the source code into it.
Before we can run Exatorrent, we need to install its dependencies. Navigate to the "exatorrent" directory and run the following command:
npm install
This command will install all the required dependencies for Exatorrent.
Exatorrent comes with a default configuration file called "config.json". You can modify this file to customize the behavior of the client. You can also create a new file with a different name and specify it as a command-line argument when running Exatorrent.
Once you have configured Exatorrent, you can start it by running the following command:
npm start
This command will run Exatorrent with the default configuration file in the foreground. You can also start it in the background by using a process manager like PM2.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Exatorrent on NetBSD. You can now use Exatorrent to download and share files using the BitTorrent protocol.
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!
