How to install KeystoneJS on OpenBSD

KeystoneJS is a powerful Node.js-based CMS and web application framework. In this tutorial, we will help you install KeystoneJS on OpenBSD.

Step 1: Update Your System

The first step is to update your system. To do this, open up your terminal and enter the following command:

sudo pkg_add -u

This command will update all of the packages installed on your OpenBSD system.

Step 2: Install Node.js

KeystoneJS is based on Node.js, so you will need to have Node.js installed on your OpenBSD system. To install Node.js, enter the following command in your terminal:

sudo pkg_add node

Step 3: Install MongoDB

KeystoneJS also requires MongoDB, a popular NoSQL database. To install MongoDB, enter the following command in your terminal:

sudo pkg_add mongodb

Step 4: Install KeystoneJS

With Node.js and MongoDB installed, you can now install KeystoneJS. To do this, enter the following command in your terminal:

sudo npm install -g generator-keystone

This command will install the KeystoneJS Yeoman generator. This generator will create a basic KeystoneJS application for you, with a set of templates and starter code.

Step 5: Create a KeystoneJS Application

To create a KeystoneJS application, enter the following command in your terminal:

yo keystone

This command will start the KeystoneJS Yeoman generator. You will be asked a series of questions about your application, such as its name, the database backend to use, and the main page URL.

Step 6: Run Your KeystoneJS Application

With your KeystoneJS application created, you can now run it. To do this, enter the following command in your terminal:

npm start

This command will start your KeystoneJS application. You can now access it by opening up your web browser and navigating to http://localhost:3000.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed KeystoneJS on OpenBSD. You can now start building your web application using KeystoneJS.
