pyDash is a web-based dashboard for Python projects. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install pyDash on OpenBSD. Here are the steps:

Step 1: Update OpenBSD

Before installing any new software, it is always wise to update your system to ensure that you have the latest security patches and software updates. To update your OpenBSD system, run the following command in your terminal:

Step 2: Install pip

To install pyDash, we need to have pip (Python package installer) installed on our system. To install pip on OpenBSD, run the following command:

Step 4: Configure pyDash

After installing pyDash, you need to configure it to suit your needs. First, you need to create a configuration file called settings.py. You can do this by running the following command:

sudo cp ~/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pydash/settings.py.example ~/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pydash/settings.py

This command will create a configuration file called settings.py in the pyDash package directory.

Next, you need to edit the settings.py file and configure your settings. You can do this by running the following command:

sudo nano ~/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pydash/settings.py

The settings.py file contains various settings that you can configure. You can change the default username and password, set the IP address and port number, and much more.
