How to Install MojoPate on FreeBSD Latest

MojoPate is a Perl-based paste tool for sharing code snippets and other text-based information. In this tutorial, we will walk through the steps necessary to install MojoPate on FreeBSD Latest.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following:

• A FreeBSD Latest server
• An active internet connection
• A user with sudo privileges

Step 1 - Install Perl

We need to install cpanminus, a tool that will allow us to easily install CPAN modules, which is needed for MojoPate. We can do that with the following command:

sudo pkg install p5-App-cpanminus

Step 3 - Install MojoPate

Now we can use cpanminus to install MojoPate.

sudo cpanm App::mojopaste

This command will download and install all the necessary components for MojoPate to work.

To ensure that everything has been installed correctly, try running MojoPate:

mojopaste daemon

If MojoPate starts up without any errors that will mean it was installed correctly.

Conclusion
