ntfy is a command-line tool that sends desktop notifications when a command finishes running. It is compatible with Linux, macOS, and FreeBSD. Here are the steps to install ntfy on OpenBSD.
OpenBSD comes with Python pre-installed, but it does not include Pip. To install Pip, run the following command in the terminal:
$ sudo pkg_add py3-pip
This will install Python 3 and Pip for OpenBSD.
ntfy requires the libnotify library to send desktop notifications. To install it, run the following command:
$ sudo pkg_add libnotify
This will install libnotify on your OpenBSD system.
To install ntfy, run the following command:
$ sudo pip install ntfy
This will download the latest version of ntfy and its dependencies and install them on your OpenBSD system.
To test if ntfy is working, run the following command:
$ ntfy send "Hello, world!"
This should send a desktop notification that says "Hello, world!".
That's it! You have successfully installed ntfy on OpenBSD. You can now use it to receive notifications when a command finishes running. If you want to learn more about ntfy, visit the official website at https://ntfy.sh/.
