How to Install Uploady on OpenBSD

Uploady is a Python library for file uploads using the Flask framework. Here's a simple guide for installing Uploady on OpenBSD:

Step 1: Install Python3 and Pip3

Before installing any Python library, make sure that Python3 and Pip3 are installed on your OpenBSD machine. To install, run the following command in the terminal:

$ doas pkg_add python-3.8.6p0

This command installs Python3. Replace python-3.8.6p0 with the latest Python3 package available on OpenBSD.

Next, install pip3 using the command:

$ doas pkg_add py3-pip-20.X.X

Again, replace py3-pip-20.X.X with the latest available pip3 package.

Step 2: Clone Uploady Repository

Navigate to the directory/folder where you want to install Uploady and clone the repository using the command:

$ git clone https://github.com/farisc0de/Uploady.git

This command clones the Uploady repository from GitHub to your local machine.

Step 3: Install Dependencies

Navigate to the newly cloned Uploady directory and install the dependencies using pip3:

$ cd Uploady
$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt

This command installs Flask, the framework on which Uploady is built, along with other necessary dependencies.

Step 4: Run the Application

To run the Uploady application, enter the following command in the terminal:

$ python3 app.py

This command starts the Flask development server on your local machine. The application can now be accessed on http://localhost:5000/.

Conclusion

With these simple steps, you can install Uploady on OpenBSD and begin using it for file upload functionality in your Python Flask applications.
