asciiflow is a web-based application for creating ASCII diagrams. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing asciiflow on OpenBSD.
Git is a version control system that asciiflow uses. To install Git on OpenBSD, open a terminal and enter the following command:
$ sudo pkg_add git
After installing Git, clone the asciiflow repository from GitHub by running the following command:
$ git clone https://github.com/lewisten/asciiflow.git
This will create a new directory named "asciiflow" in your current directory, which contains all the files needed for asciiflow.
asciiflow has a few dependencies that need to be installed. To do this, navigate to the asciiflow directory and run the following command:
$ cd asciiflow
$ sudo cpanm --installdeps .
This command will install all the necessary Perl modules that asciiflow requires.
Finally, start the local web server to run asciiflow with the following command:
$ plackup -p 5000 bin/app.psgi
Open a web browser and go to "http://localhost:5000" to access asciiflow. You should now be able to create ASCII diagrams using asciiflow.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install asciiflow on OpenBSD. With asciiflow, you can create ASCII diagrams anywhere you have an internet connection. Have fun creating your own diagrams!
