How to Install Neko on OpenBSD

Neko is a lightweight web framework and server written in C++. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Neko on OpenBSD.

Prerequisites

Before installing Neko, we need to install its dependencies. Open the terminal and run the following command:

$ doas pkg_add cmake ninja

cmake is a cross-platform build system, and ninja is a small and fast build tool. These packages are required to build Neko.

Next, we need to clone the Neko repository. Open the terminal and run the following command:

$ git clone https://github.com/m1k1o/neko.git

This will clone the Neko repository to your current working directory.

Navigate to the neko directory by running:

$ cd neko

Next, create a build directory and navigate to it:

$ mkdir build && cd build

Then, generate the build files using cmake:

$ cmake -G Ninja ..

Finally, build Neko using ninja:

$ ninja neko

The above command will build Neko, and you should see the following output upon successful completion:

[3/3] Linking CXX executable neko

To install Neko, run:

$ doas ninja install

This will install Neko to the default directory, which is /usr/local/bin/. You can now run Neko by typing neko in the terminal.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Neko on OpenBSD. You can now start developing web applications using this lightweight framework.
