-*NOTE: the instructions on this page are for a Bitcoin-only setup. For
|
|
|
-altcoin support, additional installation steps are required. See
|
|
|
-[**Altcoin and Forkcoin Support**][af] for more information.*
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-### Perform the following steps on both your online and offline computers:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-For computers with no Internet connection, see **Note for offline machines** below.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-#### Install required packages:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-##### Debian/Ubuntu:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- $ sudo apt-get install git gcc libtool make autoconf libgmp-dev libssl-dev libpcre3-dev libmpfr-dev libmpc-dev python3-dev python3-pip
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-##### Arch Linux:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- $ sudo pacman -S git gcc libtool make autoconf automake autogen pcre python-pip
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-#### Upgrade the build tools:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- $ pip3 install --user --upgrade pip setuptools build wheel
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-#### Install MMGen:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- $ git clone https://github.com/mmgen/mmgen.git
|
|
|
- $ cd mmgen
|
|
|
- $ git checkout stable_linux # see 'Note' below
|
|
|
- $ python3 -m build --no-isolation
|
|
|
- $ pip3 install --user --upgrade dist/*.whl # see 'Testing Note' below
|
|
|
- $ cd ..
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-**Note:** if you want to use features that have appeared since the latest
|
|
|
-`stable_linux` release, then you can omit the `git checkout` step and remain on
|
|
|
-the `master` branch. Please bear in mind, however, that while the tip of
|
|
|
-`master` is always tested on Linux before being pushed to the public repository,
|
|
|
-security vulnerabilities are more likely to be present in new code than in a
|
|
|
-stable release. In addition, new code may require dependencies or installation
|
|
|
-steps not yet covered in the documentation.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Install your coin daemon(s). To install prebuilt binaries, go [here][01]. To
|
|
|
-install from source, go [here][02].
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-**Testing Note:** MMGen may be tested in place prior to installation. Refer to
|
|
|
-the [Test Suite][ts] wiki page for details.

-##### Note for offline machines:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-The computer you’ve designated for offline use must be connected to the
|
|
|
-Internet to retrieve and install the above packages as described above. This
|
|
|
-is normally not a problem, as you can simply take it offline permanently after
|
|
|
-the install is done, preferably removing or disabling its network interfaces.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-However, if your machine is already offline and you wish to leave it that way,
|
|
|
-or if it lacks a network interface entirely, then you’ll need to take roughly
|
|
|
-the following steps:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-> If your offline and offline computers have the same architecture, then
|
|
|
-> download the Debian/Ubuntu packages and their dependencies on the online
|
|
|
-> one using `apt-get download`. Otherwise, retrieve the packages manually
|
|
|
-> from `packages.debian.org` or `packages.ubuntu.com`.
|
|
|
->
|
|
|
-> Download any required Python packages using `pip3 download`, or manually
|
|
|
-> from [pypi.org][pi] if your online and offline computers have different
|
|
|
-> architecture.
|
|
|
->
|
|
|
-> Transfer the downloaded files and cloned Git repositories to your offline
|
|
|
-> computer using a USB stick or other removable medium. Install the
|
|
|
-> Debian/Ubuntu packages with `sudo dpkg -i` and the Python packages with `pip3
|
|
|
-> install --user`.
|
|
|
->
|
|
|
-> Clone the [secp256k1][ec] repository and copy it to `~/.cache` directory on
|
|
|
-> the offline machine (or copy it from your online machine’s `~/.cache`).
|
|
|
-> Copy the MMGen repository to the offline machine and install MMGen as
|
|
|
-> described above. If your online and offline machines have different
|
|
|
-> architecture, then make sure to clean up any build/dist files in the
|
|
|
-> repositories before installing (in `secp256k1` this is accomplished by `make
|
|
|
-> clean`).
|
