How to Install Strapi on NetBSD

Strapi is a flexible, open-source headless CMS that allows you to build powerful API-driven content management systems. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the installation process of Strapi on NetBSD.

Prerequisites

Before you proceed with this tutorial, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:

• A NetBSD server with root access
• Node.js installed
• NPM (Node Package Manager) installed

Step 1: Download Strapi

The first step is to download Strapi. You can download Strapi from the official website at https://strapi.io/. Once you have downloaded the latest version of Strapi, extract it to a directory of your choice.

cd /opt/
wget https://github.com/strapi/strapi/releases/download/v3.6.8/strapi-v3.6.8.tar.gz
tar -zxvf strapi-v3.6.8.tar.gz

Step 2: Install dependencies

After downloading Strapi, you need to install its dependencies. To do that, navigate to the directory where you have extracted Strapi and run the following command:

cd strapi-v3.6.8
npm install

Step 3: Create a new Strapi project

To create a new Strapi project, run the following command:

npx create-strapi-app my-project --quickstart

Replace my-project with the name of your project. The --quickstart flag is optional and is used to create a project with pre-configured settings.

Step 4: Start the Strapi server

After creating the Strapi project, start the Strapi server by running the following command:

cd my-project
npm run develop

The server will start at http://localhost:1337.

You can access the Strapi admin panel by navigating to http://localhost:1337/admin. By default, the admin panel is protected by a password. You will need to create a new admin user and assign a password to access the panel.
