Prerequisites

Before installing Lufi, you must have:

• A NetBSD system with root access
• A working internet connection
• Basic knowledge of the command-line interface (CLI)

Step 1: Install Required Dependencies

The first step is to install the dependencies required for Lufi using the pkgin package manager. Open the terminal and type the following command:

This command will update the package database and install the required packages, including Apache web server and PHP 7.4.

Step 2: Clone Lufi Repository

The next step is to clone the Lufi repository from its Github repository using the Git tool. Type the following command in the terminal to clone the repository:

# git clone https://framagit.org/fiat-tux/hat-softwares/lufi /usr/pkgsrc/www/lufi && cd /usr/pkgsrc/www/lufi

Step 3: Build and Install Lufi

Now we will build and install Lufi from the source. Type the following commands:

# make package	
# cd /usr/pkgsrc/packages/All
# pkg_add lufi-*

The first command will compile the source code and create a package. The second command will change the working directory to the package directory. The third command installs the Lufi package.

Step 4: Configure Apache for Lufi

The final step is to configure Apache web server to serve Lufi. Open the Apache configuration file with the following command:

# nano /usr/pkg/etc/httpd/httpd.conf

Add the following lines at the end of the file:

Alias /lufi /usr/pkg/share/lufi/public
<Directory /usr/pkg/share/lufi/public>
    Require all granted
</Directory>

Save and exit the file. Now restart the Apache web server with the following command:

# /usr/pkg/sbin/apachectl restart
