OpenBSD
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
There is currently no port for OpenBSD. Additionally, OpenBSD's security
|
||||
settings require a slightly more difficult installation process.
|
||||
|
||||
1) Ensure that you have the Bourne Again Shell (``bash``) installed. The Korn
|
||||
Shell (``ksh``), which is OpenBSD's default shell, does not support the
|
||||
``source`` command necessary to activate the python virtualenv to be set up
|
||||
later.
|
||||
2) Create a new directory in ``/usr/local`` called ``_synapse``. Also, create a
|
||||
new user called ``_synapse`` and set that directory as the new user's home.
|
||||
This is required because, by default, OpenBSD only allows binaries which need
|
||||
write and execute permissions on the same memory space to be run from
|
||||
``/usr/local``.
|
||||
3) ``su`` to the new ``_synapse`` user and change to their home directory.
|
||||
4) Create a new virtualenv: ``virtualenv -p python2.7 ~/.synapse``
|
||||
5) Start a ``bash`` shell
|
||||
6) Source the virtualenv configuration located at
|
||||
``/usr/local/_synapse/.synapse/bin/activate``
|
||||
7) Optionally, use ``pip`` to install ``lxml``, which Synapse needs to parse
|
||||
webpages for their titles.
|
||||
8) Use ``pip`` to install this repository: ``pip install
|
||||
https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tarball/master``
|
||||
9) Optionally, change ``_synapse``'s shell to ``/bin/false`` to reduce the
|
||||
chance of a compromised Synapse server being used to take over your box.
|
||||
|
||||
After this, you may proceed with the rest of the install directions.
