Building From Source
This guide will walk you through the process of building Bitsquare from source.
NOTE: For most users, building from source is not necessary. See the releases page, where you'll find installers for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X.
There is an install script (2 parts) for setup (JDK, git, maven, Bitcoinj, Bitsquare) on Linux in that directory (install_on_unix.sh, install_on_unix_fin.sh).
System requirements
The prerequisite for building Bitsquare is installing the Java Development Kit (JDK), version 8u112 or better (as well as maven and git).
In Debian/Ubuntu systems with OpenJDK you'll need OpenJFX as well, i.e. you'll need the openjfx package besides the openjdk-8-jdk package.
1. Check the version of Java you currently have installed
$ java -version
If java is not found, or your version is anything less than 1.8.0_112, then follow the next steps, otherwise you can skip to step 2:
1.1 Debian based systems (Ubuntu)
You can use either OpenJDK or Oracle JDK.
To install OpenJDK use:
$ sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk maven libopenjfx-java
Unfortunately, Ubuntu 14.04 & Linux Mint 17.3 are missing OpenJdk 8 and OpenJFX, so this might be useful:
If openjdk-8-jdk is not found you can add this ppa, update, then try again:
$ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:openjdk-r/ppa && sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk
If libopenjfx-java is not found you can build & install it yourself:
To install the Oracle JDK use:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get -y install oracle-java8-installer
Check if $JAVA_HOME is set:
$ echo $JAVA_HOME
If $JAVA_HOME is not present, open your .bashrc file:
$ touch ~/.bashrc
$ gedit ~/.bashrc
For OpenJDK add: export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64
For Oracle JDK add: export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle
Save and close the file.
Reload the file in your shell:
$ . ~/.bashrc
$ echo $JAVA_HOME
1.2 Other systems
Download and install the latest Oracle JDK for your platform.
For Mac OSX, you will need to set JAVA_HOME as:
$ echo 'export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home)' >> ~/.bashrc
$ . ~/.bashrc
Build bitcoinj
2. Install bitcoinj fork
NOTE: Bitcoinj versions later than 0.13.1 has removed support for Java serialisation. Version 0.13.1 is also missing support for Java serialisation in MainNetParams (HttpDiscovery.Details). We removed usage of Cartographer/HttpDiscovery and fixed privacy issues with Bloom Filters in our fork of version 0.13.1.6. Beside the Java serialisation issues there are privacy concerns regarding Cartographer. Here is a Github issue with background and open tasks regarding Bloom Filters. Note: use a fresh directory, this should not be done inside the bitsquare folder.
$ cd ..
$ git clone -b FixBloomFilters https://github.com/bitsquare/bitcoinj.git
$ cd bitcoinj
$ mvn clean install -DskipTests -Dmaven.javadoc.skip=true
Prepare Bitsquare build
3. Get Bitsquare source code and build a preliminary Bitsquare version
You need to get the Bitsquare dependencies first as we need to copy the BouncyCastle jar to the JRE directory.
$ git clone https://github.com/bitsquare/bitsquare.git
$ cd bitsquare
$ mvn clean package -DskipTests -Dmaven.javadoc.skip=true
4. Copy the BouncyCastle provider jar file
Copy the BountyCastle provider jar file from the local maven repository to the jre/lib/ext directory. This prevents a "JCE cannot authenticate the provider BC" exception when starting the Bitsquare client.
$ sudo cp ~/.m2/repository/org/bouncycastle/bcprov-jdk15on/1.53/bcprov-jdk15on-1.53.jar $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext/
###5. Edit the java.security file and add BouncyCastleProvider
Add org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider as last entry at: List of providers and their preference orders E.g.: security.provider.10=org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider
$ sudo gedit $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/java.security
... edit and save
6. Enable unlimited Strength for cryptographic keys (only required for Oracle JDK)
If you are using Oracle JDK 8 you must enable strong cryptographic cyphers. If you use OpenJDK + OpenJFX you can skip this step.
In Windows the new crypto files need to be copied to Java/jdk1.8.0_xxx/jre/lib/security AND Java/jre1.8.0_xxx/jre/lib/security otherwise the test in the above page will fail.
Build Bitsquare
7. Build final Bitsquare jar
Now we have all prepared to build the correct Bitsquare jar.
$ mvn clean package -DskipTests -Dmaven.javadoc.skip=true
When the build completes, you will find an executable jar: gui/target/shaded.jar.
To run it use:
$ java -jar gui/target/shaded.jar
Build binaries
If you want to build the binaries check out the build scripts under the package directory.
Development mode
Please check out our wiki for more information about testing and how to use regtest
Here are example program arguments for using regtest with localhost environment (not using Tor):
$ java -jar seednode/target/SeedNode.jar --bitcoinNetwork=REGTEST --useLocalhost=true --myAddress=localhost:2002 --nodePort=2002 --appName=Bitsquare_seed_node_localhost_2002
$ java -jar gui/target/shaded.jar --bitcoinNetwork=REGTEST --useLocalhost=true --myAddress=localhost:2222 --nodePort=2222 --appName=Bitsquare-Local-Regtest-Arbitrator
$ java -jar gui/target/shaded.jar --bitcoinNetwork=REGTEST --useLocalhost=true --myAddress=localhost:3333 --nodePort=3333 --appName=Bitsquare-Local-Regtest-Alice
$ java -jar gui/target/shaded.jar --bitcoinNetwork=REGTEST --useLocalhost=true --myAddress=localhost:4444 --nodePort=4444 --appName=Bitsquare-Local-Regtest-Bob
Running local seed node with Tor and RegTest
If you want to run locally a seed node via Tor you need to add your seed node's hidden service address to the SeedNodesRepository.java class. You can find the hidden service address after you started once a seed node. Start it with a placeholder address like:
$ java -jar seednode/target/SeedNode.jar --bitcoinNetwork=REGTEST --nodePort=8002 --myAddress=xxxxxxxx.onion:8002 --appName=Bitsquare_seed_node_xxxxxxxx.onion_8000
Once the hidden service is published (check console output) quit the seed node and copy the hidden service address from the console output. Alternatively you can navigate to the application directory and open Bitsquare_seed_node_xxxxxxx.onion_8002/tor/hiddenservice/hostname. use that hidden service address also to rename the xxxxxxx placeholder of your Bitsquare_seed_node_xxxxxxx.onion_8002 directory. Start again the SeedNode.jar now with the correct hidden service address. Instructions are also at the SeedNodesRepository class.
Here are example program arguments for using regtest and using the Tor network (example onion address is ewdkppp3vicnbgqt):
$ java -jar seednode/target/SeedNode.jar ewdkppp3vicnbgqt.onion:8002 2 50
$ java -jar seednode/target/SeedNode.jar --bitcoinNetwork=REGTEST --nodePort=8002 --myAddress=ewdkppp3vicnbgqt.onion:8002 --appName=Bitsquare_seed_node_ewdkppp3vicnbgqt.oinion_8002
$ java -jar gui/target/shaded.jar --bitcoinNetwork=REGTEST --myAddress=localhost:2222 --nodePort=2222 --appName=Bitsquare-Local-Regtest-Arbitrator
$ java -jar gui/target/shaded.jar --bitcoinNetwork=REGTEST --myAddress=localhost:3333 --nodePort=3333 --appName=Bitsquare-Local-Regtest-Alice
$ java -jar gui/target/shaded.jar --bitcoinNetwork=REGTEST --myAddress=localhost:4444 --nodePort=4444 --appName=Bitsquare-Local-Regtest-Bob
