OS version: FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE or above OS version: FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE or above
Get dependencies: c-lightning is in the FreeBSD ports, so install it as any other port
(dependencies are handled automatically):
# pkg install -y \ # pkg install c-lightning
autoconf automake bash gettext git gmp gmake libtool \
python python3 sqlite3 libsodium py36-mako py36-pip
# pip install mrkd
If you don't have Bitcoin installed locally you'll need to install that for a binary, pre-compiled package. If you want to compile locally and
as well: fiddle with compile time options:
# pkg install -y bitcoin-daemon bitcoin-utils # cd /usr/ports/net-p2p/c-lightning && make install
Clone lightning: mrkd is required to build man pages from markdown files (not done by the port):
$ git clone https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning.git # cd /usr/ports/devel/py-pip && make install
$ cd lightning $ pip install --user mrkd
Build lightning: See `/usr/ports/net-p2p/c-lightning/Makefile` for instructions on how to
