Install and run HaikuPorter
You're required to run a ​Nightly Haiku for this task.
Haiku uses HaikuDepot as its package manager, but this requires packages and a way to build these packages. We use the tool HaikuPorter to to do this by telling it to read 'recipe' files that contains all the instructions needed to successfully build the package for Haiku. These recipes file can be found in a database called HaikuPorts, which it hosted on GitHub.
Head over to the ​wiki on the HaikuPorts website and go to the section "Getting started" and follow the instructions on how to install HaikuPorter and the HaikuPorts database.
When you are done, check that haikuporter is working fine by building a simple recipe ("which" is a good choice). This will allow you to make sure everything is configured properly and working as expected. Provide a copy of the build log (haikuporter output to terminal) or a screenshot of the package (it is created in the packages/ folder in your ports directory) so we can check you completed the work.
