How to install Memos on OpenBSD

Memos is a command-line note-taking application that helps you to take notes and store them on your local filesystem. This tutorial provides step-by-step instructions on how to install Memos on OpenBSD.

Requirements

  • OpenBSD 6.3 or higher
  • Basic knowledge of the command line

Installation Steps

  1. Open the terminal on your OpenBSD server.

  2. Install Go.

    sudo pkg_add go

  3. Install Git.

    sudo pkg_add git

  4. Install Memos.

    go get github.com/usememos/memos
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/usememos/memos
go install

  5. Verify that Memos is installed correctly.

    memos version

    This should output the version number of Memos.

  6. Start using Memos.

    To create a new memo:

    memos new

    To list all memos:

    memos list

    To open a memo:

    memos open <memo_id>

  7. Bonus: Set an alias for Memos.

    Since Memos is a command-line tool, it can be cumbersome to type memos every time. To make it easier, you can set an alias.

    echo "alias memos='$(which memos)'" >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

    Now, you can use memos instead of $(which memos) to run Memos.

Conclusion

You have successfully installed Memos on OpenBSD. Now you can start using it to take notes and store them on your local filesystem.
