Livebook is an interactive notebook that allows you to write and run code in a web-based interface. In this tutorial, we will walk through the steps required to install Livebook on an OpenBSD system.
Before we can install Livebook, we need to make sure that our system is up-to-date and has all the necessary dependencies. Follow these steps to prepare your system:
Open a terminal window on your OpenBSD system.
Update the system by running the following command:
sudo pkg_add -u
This updates all installed packages to the latest version.
Install the necessary dependencies by running the following command:
sudo pkg_add rust nodejs
This installs Rust and Node.js, which are required for Livebook.
Now that our system is ready, we can proceed with the installation of Livebook.
Download the latest version of Livebook by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/livebook-dev/livebook.git
This downloads the Livebook source code to your local machine.
Change into the Livebook directory by running the following command:
cd livebook
Build Livebook by running the following command:
make release
This compiles Livebook and creates a release package.
Install the release package by running the following command:
sudo make install
This installs Livebook on your system.
Now that Livebook is installed, we can run it by following these steps:
Start the Livebook server by running the following command:
livebook_server start
This starts the Livebook server on port 8080.
Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080.
You should now see the Livebook interface. You can create a new notebook by clicking the "New notebook" button or open an existing notebook by clicking the "Open notebook" button.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed and run Livebook on your OpenBSD system!
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!
