AsmBB is a lightweight forum software written in x86 assembler, designed to be simple and fast. Here's how to install AsmBB on your macOS device.
Before installing AsmBB, you need to have the following prerequisites:
If you don't have Homebrew package manager installed on your macOS device, you can install it by running the following command in your terminal:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
If you don't have Git version control system installed on your macOS device, you can install it by running the following command in your terminal:
brew install git
Now it's time to clone AsmBB repository from GitHub. Choose a directory where you want to install AsmBB, navigate to that directory in your terminal and then run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/tajmone/AsmBB.git
This will clone the entire AsmBB repository into your chosen directory.
Navigate to the AsmBB directory that you just cloned by running the following command:
cd AsmBB
Before running AsmBB, you need to build it. Run the following command to build AsmBB:
make
This will build AsmBB and create an executable file called "AsmBB". You may see some warnings during the build process, but as long as there are no errors, you can proceed.
To start AsmBB, run the following command:
./AsmBB
This will start AsmBB and you should see the forum interface.
That's it! You have successfully installed AsmBB on your macOS device. You can now use AsmBB to create your own forums and start discussions with your community.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
