How to Install ASS on OpenBSD

ASS is an acronym for Assembly SHell, which is a command-line shell written in x86 Assembly Language. It is designed to be extremely lightweight and compact, making it ideal for use in embedded systems and other resource-constrained environments. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install ASS on OpenBSD using the following steps:

Step 1: Install Git

ASS is hosted on GitHub, so we will need to install Git in order to download the source code. To do this, open a terminal and type:

$ sudo pkg_add git

This will install the Git package on your system.

Step 2: Download the Source Code

Next, we will download the source code for ASS from GitHub. To do this, navigate to your home directory and run the following command:

$ git clone https://github.com/tycrek/ass.git

This will create a directory called "ass" in your home directory and download the source code for ASS into it.

Step 3: Build ASS

Now that we have the source code, we need to build ASS from it. To do this, navigate to the "ass" directory and run the following command:

$ make

This will compile the source code and generate the ass binary.

Step 4: Install ASS

Once the compilation is complete, we need to install ASS on our system. To do this, run the following command:

$ sudo make install

This will copy the ass binary to the "/usr/local/bin" directory and make it available for use.

Step 5: Test it Out

Now that we have installed ASS, we can test it out by running the following command in a terminal:

$ ass

This will launch the Assembly SHell, allowing you to enter and execute x86 Assembly Language commands.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we have learned how to install ASS on OpenBSD. By following these steps, you should now have a working installation of ASS on your system. Happy coding!
