Compile Monero on Ubuntu 15.10 x86_64
The example shows how to compile current github version of Monero, as of 14 Nov 2015, on Ubuntu 15.10 x86_64.
Preparation
Before proceeding to the compilation, the following packages are required:
# ubdate ubuntu's repository
sudo apt-get update
#install git
sudo apt-get install git
# install dependencies
sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake libboost-all-dev miniupnpc libunbound-dev graphviz doxygen libdb5.3++-dev
Compilation
Having the dependencies, we can download the current Monero version and compile it as follows:
# download the latest bitmonero source code from github
git clone https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero.git
# go into bitmonero folder
cd bitmonero/
# compile
make # or make -j number_of_threads, e.g., make -j 2
Installation (optional)
After successful compilation, the Monero binaries should be located in ./bin
I usually move the binaries into /opt/bitmonero/
folder. This can be done
as follows:
# optional
sudo mkdir /opt/bitmonero
sudo mv ./build/release/bin/* /opt/bitmonero/
Now we can start the Monero daemon and let it
download the blockchain and synchronize itself with the Monero network. After that, you can run your the simplewallet
.
# launch the Monero daemon and let it synchronize with the Monero network
/opt/bitmonero/bitmonerod
# launch the Monero wallet
/opt/bitmonero/simplewallet
How can you help?
Constructive criticism, code and website edits are always good. They can be made through github.
Some Monero are also welcome:
