H3 Viewer is an open-source software that allows users to visualize geographic data on a hexagonal grid. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the step-by-step process of installing H3 Viewer on OpenBSD.
Before you begin, make sure you have the following:
OpenBSD uses packages to handle software installation. To install the necessary packages, simply run the following command in your terminal:
doas pkg_add rust neovim node
Press Enter to proceed with the installation. This command will install the following packages:
Next, you need to clone H3 Viewer from the official GitHub repository. To do this, use the git clone command:
git clone https://github.com/clupasq/h3-viewer.git
This will create a new directory called h3-viewer in your current working directory.
Navigate to the h3-viewer directory using the cd command:
cd h3-viewer
Then, run the following command to build the app:
cargo build --release
This command will compile the app and create a release build in the target/release directory.
Now, you can start the app using the following command:
./target/release/h3-viewer serve
This will start the app on the default port 8000. To access the app, open your web browser and enter http://localhost:8000 in the address bar.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured H3 Viewer on your OpenBSD operating system. You can now use H3 Viewer to visualize geographic data on a hexagonal grid. Enjoy!
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!
