How to Install Sourcegraph on NetBSD

sourcegraph.com">Sourcegraph is a powerful, code-searching and browsing tool that lets you navigate, understand, and secure your code. In this tutorial, we'll look at how to install Sourcegraph on NetBSD.

Prerequisites

Before we get started, make sure you have the following:

• A NetBSD system with root privileges
• Access to the internet

Steps

1. Open up a terminal and log in as root.

   $ su -
   

2. Update your package database.

   # pkgin update
   

3. Install the git, nodejs, and npm packages by running the following command:

   # pkgin install git nodejs npm
   

4. Clone the Sourcegraph repository from GitHub.

   # git clone https://github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph.git
   

5. Change into the Sourcegraph directory.

   # cd sourcegraph
   

6. Install the dependencies required by Sourcegraph.

   # npm install
   

7. Start the Sourcegraph server.

   # npm start
   

   This should start the Sourcegraph server on port 3080. To access Sourcegraph, open up your favorite web browser and go to http://localhost:3080.

   Note: If you want to run Sourcegraph on a different port, you can do so by setting the SRC_HTTP_ADDR environment variable before starting the server. For example, to start the server on port 8080, you would run:

   # SRC_HTTP_ADDR=":8080" npm start
   

Conclusion

That's it! You've successfully installed Sourcegraph on NetBSD. Now you can use Sourcegraph to navigate, understand, and secure your code.
