Library Requirements
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
You will need several development libraries:
|
|
* libsqlite3: for database support.
|
|
* libgmp: for secp256k1
|
|
|
|
For actually doing development and running the tests, you will also need:
|
|
* pip3: to install python-bitcoinlib
|
|
* asciidoc: for formatting the man pages (if you change them)
|
|
* valgrind: for extra debugging checks
|
|
|
|
You will also need a version of bitcoind with segregated witness and estimatesmartfee economical node, such as the 0.15 or above.
|
|
|
|
To Build on Ubuntu 15.10 or above
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
Get dependencies:
|
|
```
|
|
sudo apt-get install -y autoconf build-essential git libtool libgmp-dev libsqlite3-dev python3 net-tools
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you don't have Bitcoin installed locally you'll need to install that as well:
|
|
```
|
|
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
|
|
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
|
|
sudo apt-get update
|
|
sudo apt-get install -y bitcoind
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For development or running tests, get additional dependencies:
|
|
```
|
|
sudo apt-get install -y asciidoc valgrind python3-pip
|
|
sudo pip3 install python-bitcoinlib
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
