EasyBuild is an open-source tool that simplifies the process of building software from source code. This tutorial will walk you through the steps required to install EasyBuild on OpenBSD.
Before installing EasyBuild, there are a few dependencies that need to be installed on your OpenBSD system. Use the following command to install the dependencies:
$ sudo pkg_add -uv cmake gcc git patch ruby curl
Next, you need to download the EasyBuild source code. Use the following command to clone the EasyBuild repository:
$ git clone https://github.com/easybuilders/easybuild-easyconfigs.git
Once you have downloaded the EasyBuild source code, use the following commands to install EasyBuild:
$ cd easybuild-easyconfigs
$ sudo ./easybuild/easybuild/scripts/easy_install.sh /usr/local/easybuild
This will install EasyBuild to the /usr/local/easybuild directory.
Finally, you need to set a few environment variables to use EasyBuild. Use the following commands to set the environment variables:
$ echo "export PATH=\$PATH:/usr/local/easybuild/bin" >> ~/.bashrc
$ echo "export EASYBUILD_PREFIX=/usr/local/easybuild" >> ~/.bashrc
To verify that EasyBuild has been installed correctly, use the following command:
$ eb --version
If everything is installed correctly, you should see the version number of EasyBuild printed to the console.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed EasyBuild on OpenBSD.
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!
