How to Install Tigase on NetBSD

In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install Tigase, an open-source XMPP server, on NetBSD. Tigase is a high-performance server that can support thousands of concurrent users.

Prerequisites

NetBSD installed on your system
Root privileges

Step 1: Install Java

Tigase requires Java to be installed on the system. To install Java, follow these steps:

Open the terminal in NetBSD.
Run the following command to update the package repository:
```
pkgin update
```
Then, run the following command to install Java:
```
pkgin install openjdk8
```
Note: You can choose another Java version if you prefer.

Step 2: Download Tigase

Open your web browser and go to the following URL:
```
https://builds.tigase.net/nightlies/dists/
```
Download the latest Tigase version that matches your system architecture and operating system.

Step 3: Install Tigase

Open the terminal in NetBSD.
Navigate to the folder where Tigase was downloaded.
Run the following command to extract the Tigase archive:
```
tar xvf tigase-server-<VERSION>.tar.gz
```
Replace <VERSION> with the version number you downloaded.
Navigate into the newly-created folder:
```
cd tigase-server-<VERSION>
```
Run the following command to start the Tigase server:
```
./scripts/tigase.sh start etc/tigase.conf
```
This will start the Tigase server using the default configuration file.
To stop the server, run the following command:
```
./scripts/tigase.sh stop etc/tigase.conf
```

Congratulations! You have successfully installed and started Tigase on your NetBSD system. You can now configure it to your liking and start using it.
