Hasty Paste is a lightweight and fast pastebin that allows you to share plain text easily. It's open-source software that comes with rich formatting options and supports syntax highlighting. In this tutorial, we are going to look at how to install Hasty Paste on OpenBSD.
Before you install Hasty Paste, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
Hasty Paste requires some dependencies that you need to install on your system. You can install these dependencies by running the following command:
$ sudo pkg_add py3-pip py3-setuptools py3-wheel
This command installs Python3's pip, setuptools, and wheel packages. These packages are essential for installing Hasty Paste on your OpenBSD machine.
Next, you need to clone the Hasty Paste repository. To do this, run the following command:
$ git clone https://github.com/enchantedmommy/hastypaste.git
This command clones the Hasty Paste repository from Github to your local machine.
Once you have cloned the Hasty Paste repository, navigate to the root directory of the repository and run the following command:
$ sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt
This command installs all the required Python packages to run Hasty Paste on your OpenBSD machine.
After installing the Hasty Paste requirements, navigate to the app directory of the Hasty Paste repository and create a config.py file by copying the config-example.py:
$ cd hastypaste/app
$ cp config-example.py config.py
Next, edit the config.py file using your favorite text editor and set your desired settings. For example, you can set the Hasty Paste secret key, debug mode, and the database URI. Save the file when you finish.
Finally, you can run Hasty Paste by executing the following command from the root directory of the Hasty Paste repository:
