 3. Install yarn: `corepack prepare yarn@stable --activate`

+1. Install dependencies `doas pkg_add gmake go git yarn node cmake`
+2. Compile a custom ffmpeg from ports. The default ffmpeg in OpenBSD's packages is not compiled with WebP support, which is required by Stash.
+   - If you've already installed ffmpeg, uninstall it: `doas pkg_delete ffmpeg`
+   - If you haven't already, [fetch the ports tree and verify](https://www.openbsd.org/faq/ports/ports.html#PortsFetch).
+   - Find the ffmpeg port in `/usr/ports/graphics/ffmpeg`, and patch the Makefile to include libwebp
+     - Add `webp` to `WANTLIB`
+     - Add `graphics/libwebp` to the list in `LIB_DEPENDS`
+     - Add `-lwebp -lwebpdecoder -lwebpdemux -lwebpmux` to `LIBavcodec_EXTRALIBS`
+     - Add `--enable-libweb` to the list in `CONFIGURE_ARGS`
+     - If you've already built ffmpeg from ports before, you may need to also increment `REVISION`
+     - Run `doas make install`
+   - Follow the instructions below to build a release, but replace the final step `make build-release` with `gmake flags-release stash`, to [avoid the PIE buildmode](https://github.com/golang/go/issues/59866). 
+
+NOTE: The `make` command in OpenBSD will be `gmake`. For example, `make pre-ui` will be `gmake pre-ui`.

 ## Commands
 
 * `make pre-ui` - Installs the UI dependencies. This only needs to be run once after cloning the repository, or if the dependencies are updated.
