Installing Persepolis on FreeBSD

Install dependencies

To install Persepolis on FreeBSD you need to install following packages first:

• aria2
  • To install the port: cd /usr/ports/www/aria2/ && make install clean
  • To add the package: pkg install aria2
• pulseaudio
  • To install the port: cd /usr/ports/audio/pulseaudio/ && make install clean
  • To add the package: pkg install pulseaudio
• libnotify
  • To install the port: cd /usr/ports/devel/libnotify/ && make install clean
  • To add the package: pkg install libnotify
• qt5-svg
  • To install the port: cd /usr/ports/graphics/qt5-svg/ && make install clean
  • To add the package: pkg install qt5-svg
• python3
  • To install the port: cd /usr/ports/lang/python3/ && make install clean
  • To add the package: pkg install python3
• py3-qt5
  • To install the port: cd /usr/ports/devel/py-qt5/ && make install clean
• py3-requests
  • To install the port: cd /usr/ports/www/py3-requests/ && make install clean
• py3-setproctitle
  • To install the port: cd /usr/ports/devel/py3-setproctitle/ && make install clean

You can install them using pkg or Ports, but Python packages need some configuration before install, especially py3-qt5, so use Ports for installing Python packages as explained follow:

• Before installing python3, py3-qt5 and py3-requests packages, you must first change your system default python to python3 instead of python2. For doing this you must add following line to your system /etc/make.conf file:
  DEFAULT_VERSIONS+= python=3.6 python3=3.6
  Here we change default python and python3 version to Python 3.6, you can choose whichever python 3 version available and you want. (See /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.default-versions.mk).
• After that, first install python3 from Port:
  cd /usr/ports/lang/python3/ && make install clean
• Then install py3-qt5 and py3-requests from Port:
  cd /usr/ports/devel/py-qt5/ && make install clean
cd /usr/ports/www/py3-requests/ && make install clean
