Turtl is a secure and encrypted note-taking and bookmarking application. It's available for Linux, Windows, and macOS, but it's not straightforward to install it on OpenBSD. In this tutorial, we'll guide you through the process of installing Turtl on OpenBSD.
Before we begin, ensure that you have the following:
We need to install the packages that Turtl depends on. Open the terminal and run the following command to install them:
sudo pkg_add node npm pkg-config sqlite3
Then, download the appropriate Turtl package for OpenBSD from their website https://turtl.it/download/. It's recommended to use the LTS version since it's the most stable.
wget https://github.com/turtl/desktop/releases/download/v0.7.4-4/Turtl-Setup-0.7.4-4-x86_64.openbsd.tar.gz
Extract the downloaded Turtl package in your home directory.
tar xvzf Turtl-Setup-0.7.4-4-x86_64.openbsd.tar.gz -C ~/
Navigate to the extracted folder by executing:
cd ~/turtl
Launch Turtl by running the start command:
npm start
This command will open the Turtl login window in your default web browser. Create a new account or log in with your existing Turtl credentials.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Turtl on OpenBSD.
