How to install Memos on OpenBSD

Memos is a command-line note-taking application that helps you to take notes and store them on your local filesystem. This tutorial provides step-by-step instructions on how to install Memos on OpenBSD.

Requirements

• OpenBSD 6.3 or higher
• Basic knowledge of the command line

Installation Steps

1. Open the terminal on your OpenBSD server.

2. Install Go.

   sudo pkg_add go

3. Install Git.

   sudo pkg_add git

4. Install Memos.

   go get github.com/usememos/memos
   cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/usememos/memos
   go install
   

5. Verify that Memos is installed correctly.

   memos version

   This should output the version number of Memos.

6. Start using Memos.

   To create a new memo:

   memos new

   To list all memos:

   memos list

   To open a memo:

   memos open <memo_id>

7. Bonus: Set an alias for Memos.

   Since Memos is a command-line tool, it can be cumbersome to type memos every time. To make it easier, you can set an alias.

   echo "alias memos='$(which memos)'" >> ~/.bashrc
   source ~/.bashrc
   

   Now, you can use memos instead of $(which memos) to run Memos.

Conclusion

You have successfully installed Memos on OpenBSD. Now you can start using it to take notes and store them on your local filesystem.

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!
