Neko is a lightweight web framework and server written in C++. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Neko on OpenBSD.
Before installing Neko, we need to install its dependencies. Open the terminal and run the following command:
$ doas pkg_add cmake ninja
cmake is a cross-platform build system, and ninja is a small and fast build tool. These packages are required to build Neko.
Next, we need to clone the Neko repository. Open the terminal and run the following command:
$ git clone https://github.com/m1k1o/neko.git
This will clone the Neko repository to your current working directory.
Navigate to the neko directory by running:
$ cd neko
Next, create a build directory and navigate to it:
$ mkdir build && cd build
Then, generate the build files using cmake:
$ cmake -G Ninja ..
Finally, build Neko using ninja:
$ ninja neko
The above command will build Neko, and you should see the following output upon successful completion:
[3/3] Linking CXX executable neko
To install Neko, run:
$ doas ninja install
This will install Neko to the default directory, which is /usr/local/bin/. You can now run Neko by typing neko in the terminal.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Neko on OpenBSD. You can now start developing web applications using this lightweight framework.
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!
