  • curl https://curl.haxx.se

    The 'curl' command is used by the AhsayOBM sh script installer to download components from AhsayCBS server during the installation process.

  • tar https://www.gnu.org/software/tar

    The 'tar' command is used by the AhsayOBM gz installer to uncompress and extract installation files or components downloaded from the AhsayCBS backup server onto the FreeBSD machine.

  • openjdk8 https://www.freebsd.org/java

    The 'openjdk8' package must be installed for AhsayOBM on FreeBSD since this is the reference implementation of Java SE.
