Installing Thumbor on NetBSD

This tutorial will guide you through the installation process of Thumbor, which is an open-source image manipulation tool, on NetBSD.

Prerequisites

NetBSD machine
Root access to the machine
Python installed on the machine
pip - package installer for Python

Installation Steps

First, let's make sure that all the necessary packages are installed on the system. Open a terminal and run the following command:
```
pkgin update
pkgin install libjpeg-turbo tiff libpng imagemagick
```

Install pip by running the following command:

curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py
python get-pip.py --user

Now, let's install the Thumbor package. Run the following command:
```
pip install thumbor
```
Thumbor requires a configuration file. You can copy the example configuration file from the package by running the following command:
```
cp ~/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/thumbor/thumbor.conf.sample thumbor.conf
```
Let's edit the configuration file to fit our needs. Open the "thumbor.conf" file in your favorite text editor and make the necessary changes.
Now that Thumbor is installed and configured, we need to start the server. Run the following command:
```
thumbor -p 8000 -c /path/to/thumbor.conf
```
This command will start the Thumbor server on port 8000 and use the configuration file we just edited. If you want to run Thumbor as a daemon, add the -d parameter at the end of the command.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and started Thumbor on your NetBSD machine.
