How to Install MindsDB on OpenBSD

Introduction

MindsDB is an open-source platform that allows developers to build, train, and deploy machine learning models. In this tutorial, we will explain how to install MindsDB on OpenBSD.

Prerequisites

Step 1: Install Dependencies

Before we can install MindsDB, we need to install its dependencies. To do so, we must run the following command in the terminal:

$ doas pkg_add py3-pip py3-setuptools

This command installs pip and setuptools, which are required to install MindsDB.

Step 2: Clone the MindsDB Repository

Next, we need to clone the MindsDB GitHub repository. To do so, run the following command in the terminal:

$ git clone https://github.com/mindsdb/mindsdb.git

This command clones the repository into a new directory called mindsdb.

Step 3: Install MindsDB

After cloning the repository, we can now install MindsDB. To do so, we need to navigate to the mindsdb directory and run the following commands:

$ cd mindsdb
$ doas pip3 install . --ignore-installed PyYAML 

The first command navigates to the mindsdb directory, while the second command installs MindsDB.

Note: We are using the --ignore-installed PyYAML flag because OpenBSD has a package installed for PyYAML, but it is outdated. We need to ignore this package and install a more recent version.

Step 4: Verify MindsDB Installation

Finally, we need to verify that MindsDB was installed correctly. To do so, we can run the following command:

$ mindsdb --help

This command should produce a list of available options for MindsDB, indicating that it was installed correctly.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we explained how to install MindsDB on OpenBSD. By following these steps, you should now have MindsDB up and running on your OpenBSD system.
