Using NetBSD Package Manager on OS X

OS X is Modified BSD. We Can Use NetBSD Package Manager on OS X for Package Management Just Like We Use Homebrew or Fink or Even apt on OS X. We have previously published guides on install apt on OS X, Homebrew on OS X and this time – NetBSD Package Manager on OS X.

 

Understanding NetBSD Package Manager on OS X

 

As like Homebrew, we need to install/update Xcode Command Line Tools first. There are projects on installing and upgrading the package manager on OS X :

Vim

We can use OS X as genuine root user or as admin.

Using NetBSD Package Manager on OS X

 

We need to fetch pkgsrc.tar.xz from :

Vim
1
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/current/pkgsrc.tar.xz

Extract as root:

Vim
1
tar -C /usr --xz -xf pkgsrc.tar.xz

Bootstrap in this way :

Vim
1
2
cd /usr/pkgsrc/bootstrap
./bootstrap --compiler=clang --abi=64 --pkgdbdir=/usr/pkg/pkgdb --varbase /usr/pkg/var

We need to add /usr/pkg/bin and /usr/pkg/sbin in PATH shell variable :

Vim
1
export PATH=$PATH:~/pkg/bin:~/pkg/sbin

You will get more hints on this github project :

NetBSD Package Manager is not so widely used like Homebrew on OS X, yet it is a different package manager which you can test and use.
