How to Install Fusio on NetBSD

Fusio is an open-source API management platform that helps developers create and manage APIs easily. NetBSD is a free and open-source operating system. This guide will walk you through the process of installing Fusio on NetBSD.

Prerequisites

Before installing Fusio, you need to make sure that your NetBSD system meets the following requirements:

• NetBSD 8.0 or higher
• PHP 7.2 or higher
• MySQL or MariaDB

Step 1: Download Fusio

The first step is to download the Fusio package from the official website. You can download the latest version of Fusio from the following link: https://www.fusio-project.org/download/

$ wget https://github.com/apioo/fusio/releases/download/1.7.13/fusio-1.7.13.zip

Step 2: Extract the Package

After you have downloaded the package, the next step is to extract it to a desired location. In this example, we will extract it to the "/opt" directory.

$ sudo mkdir /opt/fusio
$ sudo unzip fusio-1.7.13.zip -d /opt/fusio

Step 3: Install Dependencies

Fusio requires certain dependencies to be installed on your system. You can install them using the following command:

$ sudo pkgin install php72-json php72-curl php72-mysql php72-mbstring

Step 4: Configure PHP

After you have installed the dependencies, you need to configure PHP to enable certain extensions. Open the "php.ini" file using your preferred text editor, and uncomment the following extensions:

extension=curl.so
extension=mysqli.so
extension=mbstring.so

Save the changes and exit the file.

Step 5: Create a Database

Fusio requires a MySQL or MariaDB database to store API data. You can create a new database using the following command:

$ mysql -u root -p

CREATE DATABASE fusio_db;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON fusio_db.* TO 'fusio_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';

Make sure to replace "password" with a secure password for the user.

Step 6: Configure Fusio

Next, you need to configure Fusio to use the newly created database. Navigate to the "config" directory in the Fusio installation directory, and copy the "config.default.php" file to "config.local.php".

$ cd /opt/fusio/config
$ cp config.default.php config.local.php

Open the "config.local.php" file using your preferred text editor, and modify the following lines:

$config['db_host'] = 'localhost';
$config['db_name'] = 'fusio_db';
$config['db_user'] = 'fusio_user';
$config['db_password'] = 'password';

Be sure to replace "password" with the password you set in Step 5.

Step 7: Start the Server

Finally, start the Fusio server using the following command:

$ php /opt/fusio/server.php

You can access the Fusio admin panel by opening your web browser and navigating to "http://localhost:8000/admin".

Congratulations! you have successfully installed Fusio on your NetBSD system.
