⁠How To Compile

⁠Ubuntu 16.04+ and MacOS 10.10+

There is a bash installation script for Ubuntu 16.04+ and MacOS 10.10+ which can be used to checkout and build the project from source:

$ curl -sL "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/turtlecoin/turtlecoin/master/scripts/multi_installer.sh" | bash

On Ubuntu you will be asked for sudo rights to install software. The binaries will be in ./src after compilation is complete.

This script can be used from inside the git repository to build the project from the checked out source, ./multi_installer.sh

See the script for more installation details and please consider extending it for your operating system and distribution!

If the script doesn't work for you:

⁠Linux

If you are using Arch Linux, there is an AUR precompiled package, turtlecoin-bin, or a build from source version, turtlecoin-git.

⁠Prerequisites

• You will need the following packages: boost (1.55 or higher), rocksdb, cmake, git, gcc (4.9 or higher), g++ (4.9 or higher), make, and python. Most of these should already be installed on your system.
• For example on Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install build-essential python-dev gcc g++ git cmake libboost-all-dev librocksdb-dev
• If you are using Ubuntu and your version of Ubuntu doesn't have librocksdb-dev, you can get it from a ppa instead:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ethcore/ethcore -y
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install librocksdb-dev

⁠Building

• git clone https://github.com/turtlecoin/turtlecoin
• cd turtlecoin
• mkdir build && cd $_
• cmake ..
• make

⁠Apple

⁠Prerequisites

• Install cmake⁠. See here⁠ if you are unable call cmake from the terminal after installing.
• Install the boost⁠ libraries. Either compile boost manually or run brew install boost.
• Install XCode and Developer Tools.

⁠Building

• git clone https://github.com/turtlecoin/turtlecoin
• cd turtlecoin
• mkdir build && cd $_
• cmake .. or cmake -DBOOST_ROOT=<path_to_boost_install> .. when building from a specific boost install. If you used brew to install boost, your path is most likely /usr/local/include/boost.
• make

The binaries will be in ./src after compilation is complete.

Run ./src/TurtleCoind to connect to the network and let it sync (it may take a while).

⁠Windows 10

⁠Prerequisites

• Install Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition⁠
• When installing Visual Studio, it is required that you install Desktop development with C++ and the VC++ v140 toolchain when selecting features. The option to install the v140 toolchain can be found by expanding the "Desktop development with C++" node on the right. You will need this for the project to build correctly.
• Install Boost 1.59.0⁠, ensuring you download the installer for MSVC 14.

⁠Building

• From the start menu, open 'x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for vs2017'.
• cd <your_turtlecoin_directory>
• mkdir build
• cd build
• Set the PATH variable for cmake: ie. set PATH="C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\CMake\CMake\bin";%PATH%
• cmake -G "Visual Studio 14 Win64" .. -DBOOST_ROOT=C:/local/boost_1_59_0 (Or your boost installed dir.)
• MSBuild TurtleCoin.sln /p:Configuration=Release /m
• If all went well, it will complete successfully, and you will find all your binaries in the '..\build\src\Release' directory.
• Additionally, a .sln file will have been created in the build directory. If you wish to open the project in Visual Studio with this, you can.
