MicroBin is a command-line tool for sharing files and code snippets. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation of MicroBin on OpenBSD.
To install MicroBin, you need to install Go programming language which is not included in the OpenBSD base system. Run the following command as root to install Go:
pkg_add go
To download MicroBin, you can clone the MicroBin repository from GitHub using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/szabodanika/microbin.git
This will create a directory named 'microbin' in your current working directory which contains all the necessary files for running MicroBin.
Change to the 'microbin' directory and execute the following command to build MicroBin:
go build -o microbin
This will compile the MicroBin source code and create an executable file named "microbin" in your working directory.
Copy the "microbin" executable to the /usr/local/bin directory to install it globally:
cp microbin /usr/local/bin/
To verify that MicroBin has been installed properly, run the following command:
microbin --version
This will display the current version of MicroBin installed on your system.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed MicroBin on OpenBSD. You can now use it to share files and code snippets with others. Enjoy!
