Prerequisites

• NetBSD installed and running
• Basic command-line knowledge
• Access to a terminal window
• An internet connection

Step 1: Install dependencies

Before we can install Archivematica on NetBSD, we need to install some required dependencies. Run the following command as root:

pkgin install python27 py27-pip py27-virtualenvwrapper py27-lxml swig mediainfo wget ImageMagick NO-PKG-REGISTER-python27

Step 2: Install Elasticsearch

Next, we need to install Elasticsearch. Run the following commands as root:

cd /usr/pkgsrc/textproc/elasticsearch

Next, we need to make the script executable:

chmod +x archivematica-dashboard

Finally, run the installation script:

./archivematica-dashboard install

Step 5: Access Archivematica

Once the installation process is complete, you can access Archivematica by visiting http://your_server_ip:8080 in your web browser. You should see the Archivematica interface and be able to begin using the application.
