How to Install Rapido on NetBSD

Rapido is a command-line tool for managing your system's package dependencies. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of Rapido on NetBSD.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, you need to make sure that you have the following prerequisites:

• A NetBSD system
• Access to a terminal or command-line interface
• A user account with sudo or root privileges

Step 1: Install Git

To install Rapido, we need to first install Git. Git is a version control system used for managing source code repositories.

To install Git, execute the following command in your terminal:

sudo pkgin install git

Step 2: Clone Rapido

After installing Git, clone the repository for Rapido using the following command:

git clone https://framagit.org/InfoLibre/rapido.git

This will create a folder called "rapido" in the current directory containing all the source code for Rapido.

Step 3: Install Dependencies

Rapido requires certain dependencies to function properly. You can install them using the following command:

cd rapido
sudo pkgin install python37 py37-curses py37-pip py37-setuptools

This command will install Python 3.7, the curses library, pip, and setuptools, which are needed to run Rapido.

Step 4: Install Rapido

Once the dependencies are installed, we can now install Rapido using pip:

sudo pip3.7 install .

This command will install Rapido on your system.

Step 5: Verify Installation

To verify that Rapido is installed correctly, type the following command in your terminal:

rapido --version

If everything is installed correctly, it should display the version number of Rapido.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Rapido on your NetBSD system. You can now use it to manage your system's package dependencies.
