wantguns-bin is a project hosted on GitHub that provides a command-line binary for manipulating the clipboards of Windows, Linux, and macOS operating systems. In this tutorial, we will explore how to install this software on NetBSD.
A NetBSD system with root access.
A stable internet connection to download the package.
In order to run the binary, wantguns-bin requires the GraphicsMagick library. Therefore, we will install GraphicsMagick using the package manager provided by NetBSD:
pkg_add graphics/GraphicsMagick
This command will fetch, download, and install the package and all its dependencies.
The next step is to clone the repository by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/wantguns/bin
This will create a directory called "bin" in the current working directory, containing the source code of wantguns-bin.
Change the current directory to the cloned repository:
cd bin
Now, we need to build the binary:
make
This will build the wantguns-bin binary and place it in the bin directory.
To install wantguns-bin, we will copy it to the /usr/local/bin directory:
cp wantguns-bin /usr/local/bin
Finally, we need to make the binary executable:
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/wantguns-bin
To test the installation, simply run:
wantguns-bin --help
This should print out the help message of the binary.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed wantguns-bin on NetBSD.
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!
