How to Install MTR on OpenBSD

  1. First, open a terminal and log in as the root user.

  2. Next, we need to install the necessary packages to compile and install MTR. To do this, run the following command:

    pkg_add autoconf automake libtool
    
  3. Download the MTR source code from the Bitwizard website using the following command:

    ftp https://www.bitwizard.nl/mtr/mtr-0.94.tar.gz
    
  4. Extract the downloaded file using the following command:

    tar xvzf mtr-0.94.tar.gz
    
  5. Change into the extracted directory:

    cd mtr-0.94
    
  6. Run the following commands to configure, compile, and install MTR:

    ./configure
    make
    make install
    
  7. MTR should now be installed on your OpenBSD system. You can verify this by running the following command:

    mtr --version
    

    If MTR is installed correctly, you should see its version number displayed.

Congratulations, you have successfully installed MTR on OpenBSD! You can now use this powerful network diagnostic tool to analyze network connectivity and diagnose problems.
