How to Install GNU Bazaar on OpenBSD

GNU Bazaar is a distributed version control system that you can use to manage your source code. Here's how you can install it on OpenBSD.

Step 1: Install Dependencies

Before you can install GNU Bazaar, you need to install a few dependencies. Open a terminal window and run this command:

$ sudo pkg_add python3

This will install Python 3, which is required for GNU Bazaar.

Step 2: Download and Extract the Tarball

Next, download the GNU Bazaar tarball from the official website. Open a terminal window and run this command:

$ wget https://launchpad.net/bzr/2.8/2.8.0/+download/bzr-2.8.0.tar.gz

This will download the tarball to your current directory. Next, extract it using this command:

$ tar xzf bzr-2.8.0.tar.gz

This will create a directory called bzr-2.8.0 in your current directory.

Step 3: Install GNU Bazaar

Now that you have the tarball extracted, you can install GNU Bazaar. Navigate to the bzr-2.8.0 directory with this command:

$ cd bzr-2.8.0

Next, run these commands to configure and install GNU Bazaar:

$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
$ make
$ sudo make install

These commands will configure, compile, and install GNU Bazaar on your OpenBSD system.

Step 4: Verify the Installation

To verify that GNU Bazaar is installed correctly, run this command:

$ bzr version

This should show you the current version of GNU Bazaar that you installed.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed GNU Bazaar on your OpenBSD system.
