Installing Netatalk on FreeBSD
Install Netatalk
The easiest way to get Netatalk on FreeBSD is to install the netatalk4 port with pkg.
With root privileges, install the netatalk4 package:
pkg install netatalk4
For building and installing from source yourself, for instance to get a newer version, follow the guides linked here.
Run
Netatalk ships with an init script for FreeBSD.
If needed, activate the script with:
/etc/rc.d/netatalk enable
Start or stop the script with
/etc/rc.d/netatalk start
/etc/rc.d/netatalk stop
If you use D-Bus for, for instance, afpstats, please make sure that the dbus service is started before you launch netatalk.
service dbus onestart
