Packman is an open-source package manager for Python applications. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Packman on OpenBSD.
Before we begin, make sure that you have root access to your OpenBSD system.
The first step is to install the dependencies required for Packman to run.
Open a terminal window and enter the following commands:
$ sudo pkg_add py3-pip
$ sudo pkg_add libffi-dev
Once the dependencies are installed, you can move on to installing Packman itself.
In the terminal, enter the following command:
$ sudo pip3 install packman
This will download and install Packman on your OpenBSD system.
To verify that Packman has been installed correctly on your system, you can run the following command in the terminal:
$ packman --version
This command will return the version number of Packman installed on your system. If you receive an error message, it means that Packman has not been installed correctly.
In this tutorial, we have covered the steps necessary to install Packman on OpenBSD. By following these steps, you can easily manage your Python application dependencies using Packman.
