Tube is a command-line video-sharing platform that allows you to search and play videos directly from the terminal. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Tube on an OpenBSD machine.
Before we begin the installation process, ensure that your OpenBSD system has the following requirements:
Tube requires a few dependencies to be installed before the actual installation process. To install the required dependencies, run the following command in your terminal:
$ doas pkg_add -v python3 py3-setuptools py3-pip
Once the dependencies have been installed, proceed to the next step.
Clone the Tube repository from the official website, using the git command:
$ git clone git://git.mills.io/prologic/tube.git
Navigate to the directory where the cloned repository is located.
$ cd tube
Next, use the pip command to install Tube:
$ doas pip3 install .
This will install Tube on your OpenBSD system.
Now that Tube has been successfully installed, you can use it to search and play videos directly from the terminal. To search for a video, run the following command:
$ tube search "video name"
To play a video, copy the video's URL, and then run the following command:
$ tube play https://www.youtube.com/video-url
Tube is a convenient way to search and play videos from the terminal. By following the steps in this tutorial, you should now have Tube installed on your OpenBSD system. Happy viewing!
