How to Install TeamMapper on OpenBSD

TeamMapper is an open-source tool developed by b310-digital for creating mind maps of one's team. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing TeamMapper on OpenBSD.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding with the installation, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:

  • OpenBSD running system
  • A user account with root or sudo privileges
  • Git installed on your OpenBSD system
  • Java 8 or later version

Installation Steps

Follow the steps mentioned below to install TeamMapper:

Step 1: Clone the Repository

First, open a terminal on your OpenBSD system and navigate to the directory where you want to install TeamMapper. Then, run the following command to clone the TeamMapper repository:

git clone https://github.com/b310-digital/teammapper.git

This command will create a new directory named teammapper in the current directory and download all the source code files of the TeamMapper project.

Step 2: Install Apache Maven

Next, we need to install Apache Maven, which is required to build the TeamMapper project. Run the following command to install it using OpenBSD's package manager:

sudo pkg_add maven

Step 3: Build the Project

After installing Apache Maven, navigate to the teammapper directory and run the following command to build the project:

cd teammapper
mvn clean install

This command will download all the required dependencies and build the project. It may take a few minutes to complete the process.

Step 4: Run TeamMapper

Once the project is built, you can start the TeamMapper application by running the following command:

java -jar target/teammapper-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

This will start the TeamMapper server, and you can access it by opening a web browser and typing http://localhost:8080 in the address bar.

If you want to start the server on a different port, you can use the -Dserver.port option followed by the desired port number. For example:

java -Dserver.port=8081 -jar target/teammapper-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

This will start the TeamMapper server on port 8081.

Conclusion

That's it! You have successfully installed TeamMapper on your OpenBSD system. You can now start creating mind maps of your team and improve collaboration within your organization.
