How to Install Yadifa on Void Linux

Yadifa is a fast and lightweight DNS server that supports both IPv4 and IPv6. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Yadifa on Void Linux.

Step 1: Install Dependencies

Before we can install Yadifa, we need to install some dependencies. Open the terminal and type the following command:

sudo xbps-install openssl-devel expat-devel

This will install OpenSSL and Expat development headers, which are required by Yadifa.

Step 2: Download Yadifa

Next, we need to download the Yadifa package from the official website. Open the terminal and type the following command:

wget https://www.yadifa.eu/releases/yadifa-2.4.0.tar.gz

This will download the Yadifa package to your home directory.

Step 3: Extract the Package

Once the download is complete, we need to extract the Yadifa package. Open the terminal and type the following command:

tar -xf yadifa-2.4.0.tar.gz

This will extract the Yadifa package into a new directory called yadifa-2.4.0.

Step 4: Configure and Build Yadifa

Now that we have extracted the Yadifa package, we can configure and build it. Open the terminal and navigate to the directory yadifa-2.4.0:

cd yadifa-2.4.0

Then, run the following commands in sequence:

./configure
make
sudo make install

The configure command will generate the installation script, the make command will compile Yadifa, and the make install command will install Yadifa on your system.

Step 5: Verify the Installation

To verify that Yadifa has been installed successfully, open the terminal and type the following command:

yadifa -v

This will display the version of Yadifa that is currently installed on your system.

Congratulations, you have successfully installed Yadifa on Void Linux!
