Building From Sources

Linux​

Install prerequisites​

sudo apt-get install -y build-essential g++ python-dev autotools-dev libicu-dev libbz2-dev cmake git screen checkinstall zlib1g-dev

Download and build Boost​

curl -OL https://boostorg.jfrog.io/artifactory/main/release/1.70.0/source/boost_1_70_0.tar.bz2
echo "430ae8354789de4fd19ee52f3b1f739e1fba576f0aded0897c3c2bc00fb38778  boost_1_70_0.tar.bz2" | shasum -c && tar -xjf boost_1_70_0.tar.bz2
cd boost_1_70_0
./bootstrap.sh --with-libraries=system,filesystem,thread,date_time,chrono,regex,serialization,atomic,program_options,locale,timer,log
./b2

Install OpenSSL​

Please, make sure the paths correspond to your environment (`/home/user/')

curl -OL https://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.1.1t.tar.gz
echo "a06b067b7e3bd6a2cb52a06f087ff13346ce7360  openssl-1.1.1t.tar.gz" | shasum -c && tar xzf openssl-1.1.1t.tar.gz
cd openssl-1.1.1t/
./config --prefix=/home/user/openssl --openssldir=/home/user/openssl shared zlib
make
make test
make install

Checkout Nirmata from github​

Mainnet:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/NirmataNetwork/NirmataCore.git

Testnet:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/NirmataNetwork/NirmataCore.git -b cryptoassets

Set environment variables​

For instance, by adding the following lines to ~/.bashrc

Server version

export BOOST_ROOT=/home/user/boost_1_70_0
export OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=/home/user/openssl

GUI version

export BOOST_ROOT=/home/user/boost_1_70_0
export OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=/home/user/openssl
export QT_PREFIX_PATH=/home/user/Qt5.11.2/5.11.2/gcc_64

Build the binaries​

Mainnet:

cd NirmataCore && mkdir build && cd build
cmake
make -j1 daemon simplewallet

Testnet:

cd NirmataCore && mkdir build && cd build
cmake -D TESTNET=TRUE ..
make -j1 daemon simplewallet

Build GUI​

cd NirmataCore
utils/build_script_linux.sh

Windows​

Install required prerequisites (Boost, Qt, CMake, OpenSSL)
Rename utils/configure_local_paths.cmd.example to utils/configure_local_paths.cmd and edit paths in this file so they correspond to your environment.

Mainnet: Run one of utils/configure_win64_msvsNNNN_gui.cmd according to your MSVC version.

Testnet: Run one of utils/configure_win64_msvsNNNN_testnet.cmd according to your MSVC version.

Go to the build folder and open generated Nirmata.sln in MSVC and build it.

Build GUI​

In order to correctly deploy Qt GUI application, you also need to do the following:

Copy Nirmata.exe to a folder (e.g. depoy). Run PATH_TO_QT\bin\windeployqt.exe deploy\Nirmata.exe. Copy folder \src\gui\qt-daemon\html to deploy\html. Now you can run Nirmata.exe

MacOS​

Install required prerequisites.
Set environment variables as stated in utils/macosx_build_config.command

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -D TESTNET=TRUE ..
make

Build GUI​

Create self-signing certificate via Keychain Access:

Run Keychain Access

Choose Keychain Access > Certificate Assistant > Create a Certificate

Use Nirmata (without quotes) as certificate name

Choose “Code Signing” in “Certificate Type” field

Press “Create”, then “Done”

Make sure the certificate was added to keychain "System". If not—move it to "System"

Double click the certificate you've just added, enter the trust section and under "When using this certificate" select "Always trust"

Unfold the certificate in Keychain Access window and double click the underlying private key "Nirmata". Select "Access Control" tab, then select "Allow all applications to access this item". Click "Save Changes"

Revise building script, comment out unwanted steps and run it: utils/build_script_mac_osx.sh

The application should be here: /buid_mac_osx_64/release/src
