FreeBSD Support

Unfortunately, we don't have an official package for BSD, but if anyone is interested in maintaining Persepolis for BSD distributions, we would welcome it. Persepolis has been tested on GhostBSD and works fine.

Installing Persepolis on FreeBSD and GhostBSD

Install dependencies

To install Persepolis you need to install this Python3 packages:
requests , pysocks, urllib3, setproctitle, psutil, yt-dlp , PySide6
You can easily find them in freebsd repository with package search command. As you know, the names of these packages change based on the version of Python in the FreeBSD repositories. Always install the latest version.
At the time of writing, the names of these packages are as follows:
py311-requests, py311-pysocks, py311-urllib3, py311-setproctitle, py311-psutil, py311-yt-dlp, py311-pyside6

In the next step, you need to install ffmpeg. To make Persepolis more compatible with your desktop, it is highly recommended that you also install the plasma6-breeze package. If you use GTK+ base desktop environments(Gnome, XFCE, Mate, ...) and you like adwaita theme, You can install adwaita-qt6 package. You must install git and meson for cloning and installing Persepolis
