How to Install nsedit on NetBSD

This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing nsedit on NetBSD.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure that you have met the following requirements:

• NetBSD installed on your machine.
• Internet connection with access to the Github repository.

Step 1: Install the required dependencies

Nsedit requires the pkgsrc package manager to install its dependencies. You can install pkgsrc by following these steps:

1. Open a terminal window.

2. Run the following command to download pkgsrc:

   $ git clone git://github.com/pkgsrc/pkgsrc.git
   

3. Change the current directory to the pkgsrc directory:

   $ cd pkgsrc
   

4. Install pkgsrc:

   $ ./bootstrap/bootstrap --unprivileged
   

Now that pkgsrc is installed, you can proceed with installing the dependencies required by nsedit. You can do this by running the following command:

$ cd /usr/pkgsrc/editors/nsedit
$ bmake install clean

This will download and install all the packages required by nsedit.

Step 2: Download and Install nsedit

To download and install nsedit, follow these steps:

1. Open a terminal window.

2. Run the following command to clone nsedit from Github:

   $ git clone https://github.com/tuxis-ie/nsedit.git
   

3. Change the current directory to the nsedit directory:

   $ cd nsedit
   

4. Run the following command to install nsedit:

   $ bmake install clean
   

This will install nsedit on your NetBSD machine.

Step 3: Verify the Installation

To verify that nsedit has been installed correctly, follow these steps:

1. Open a terminal window.

2. Run the following command to check if nsedit is available:

   $ nsedit
   

If the command returns the nsedit prompt, then the installation was successful.

Congratulations, you have successfully installed nsedit on your NetBSD machine!
