How to Install Calypso on OpenBSD

Calypso is a graphical music player for Unix-like operating systems. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Calypso on OpenBSD.

Prerequisites

Before we start, make sure your OpenBSD system is up to date. You should also have root access to the system.

Install Dependencies

Calypso depends on a few libraries that are not included in the default OpenBSD installation. We need to install them first.

Run the following command to install the necessary packages:

$ doas pkg_add -z gtk+3 gstreamer1-plugins-good

Download Calypso

You can either download the source code from the official Calypso website or clone the Git repository. In this tutorial, we will use Git.

First, install Git:

$ doas pkg_add -z git

Then, clone the repository:

$ git clone https://gitlab.com/x431/calypso.git

Build and Install

Now that we have the source code, let's build and install Calypso.

$ cd calypso
$ make install

By default, Calypso is installed in /usr/local/bin. You can specify a different installation directory by setting the PREFIX variable.

$ make PREFIX=/usr/local/myprefix install

Run Calypso

To start Calypso, type calypso in the terminal or open it using your graphical desktop environment's launcher.

Conclusion

That's it! You should now have Calypso up and running on your OpenBSD system. Enjoy your music!
