Dnote is a tool for capturing and organizing information, making it easy to access and search for later use. In this tutorial, we will walk through the process of installing Dnote on OpenBSD.
Before we begin, make sure that you have the following:
Dnote is written in the Go programming language, so we need to install Go on our system before we can install Dnote. Follow these steps to install Go:
Open a terminal window and log in as an administrator.
Install the Go package using the package manager. Run the following command:
sudo pkg_add go
With Go installed, we can now install Dnote. Follow the steps below:
Open a terminal window and navigate to a directory where you want to install Dnote, for example, your home directory. Run the following command:
cd ~
Clone the Dnote repository using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/dnote/dnote.git
Change to the newly created dnote directory:
cd dnote
Build Dnote using the following command:
make build
This will create a binary called dnote in the bin directory.
Now that we have installed Dnote, we need to set it up. Follow the steps below:
Create a directory for your Dnote notes. Run the following command:
mkdir ~/.dnote
Initialize Dnote using the following command:
./bin/dnote init
This will create a configuration file in ~/.dnote/config.yaml.
Start using Dnote! You can add notes using the following command:
./bin/dnote add
You can also search for notes using the following command:
./bin/dnote ls <query>
Replace <query> with your search query.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and set up Dnote on OpenBSD. Dnote is a powerful tool for capturing and organizing information, and will be a valuable addition to your workflow.
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!
