Plainpad is a lightweight and simple text editor available for various operating systems. Here are the steps to install Plainpad on OpenBSD.
First, open the terminal on OpenBSD. You can do this by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T or by opening the Terminal application from the App Menu.
Next, navigate to the directory where you want to download Plainpad. If you want to download it in the Downloads directory, type cd ~/Downloads/ in the terminal.
Now, use the fetch command to download the Plainpad binary file from the official website. Enter the following command:
fetch https://alextselegidis.com/get/plainpad/latest/plainpad-openbsd-amd64.tgz
This will download the Plainpad binary file for OpenBSD.
Once the download is complete, extract the Plainpad binary file using the tar command with the xvf flags. Type the following command:
tar xvf plainpad-openbsd-amd64.tgz
After extracting the file, you will see a plainpad directory in the current directory. Move into the directory by typing cd plainpad.
Finally, run the plainpad executable file by typing the following command:
./plainpad
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and launched Plainpad on OpenBSD.
Note: The above steps should work for any version of OpenBSD. If you face any issues, ensure that you have downloaded the correct Plainpad binary file for your architecture.
