Make sure that the following development packages for the boost library are
installed (package names may vary; the version should be 1.48 or greater, and
version 1.54 on Ubuntu 13.10 is reported not to work):
***Note for Raspbian and Armbian users: Compiling the bitcoin daemon will
probably fail on a RPi or RPi clone due to insufficient memory. Fortunately,
ARM binaries are available for both Bitcoin Core and Bitcoin ABC. See the
[binary installation page][01] for details.***
### Install dependencies:
> Make sure the required boost library development packages are installed:
sudo apt-get install libboost-system-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-chrono-dev libboost-test-dev libboost-thread-dev
You'll also need some standard dependencies if they're not already on your system:

The '-j4' option will speed the build process up by using 4 cores of a 4-core
processor, if you have them. If overheating issues are a problem for your CPU
or you're short on memory, you may want to omit it or use '-j2'. Due to lack of
memory, the build will probably fail on a Raspberry PI or similar hardware,
even with optimization turned off.

bitcoind.

> If you want to transact BCH, also known as “Bitcoin Cash” or “Bcash”, then
> clone the Bitcoin ABC repository, and configure and build exactly as you did
> with Bitcoin Core above:
$ git clone https://github.com/Bitcoin-ABC/bitcoin-abc
$ cd bitcoin-abc
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure --without-gui --with-incompatible-bdb
$ make -j4
> The resulting executable is also named 'bitcoind', so you must install it
> under a different name to avoid overwriting your Core daemon:
$ cd src
$ strip bitcoind bitcoin-cli
$ sudo cp bitcoind /usr/local/bin/bitcoind-abc
> From now on, you'll invoke the daemon as 'bitcoind-abc' instead of 'bitcoind'.
> Or alternatively, to simplify the starting and stopping of two daemons on the
> same machine, download and use the node start and stop scripts from the
> MMGenLive project:
$ curl -O 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mmgen/MMGenLive/master/home.mmgen/bin/mmlive-node-{start,stop}'
$ sudo install mmlive-node-{start,stop} /usr/local/bin

**NB:** Naturally, your offline machine must be connected to the Internet to
retrieve and install the above packages as described above. If your offline
machine is already offline and you wish to leave it that way, then you'll be
forced to take roughly the following steps:
#### Note for offline machines:

> Python packages from pypi.python.org/pypi/<packagename>. Transfer these

> with 'sudo dpkg -i', unpack each Python module and install it using 'sudo
> ./setup.py install', and install MMGen and the secp256k1 library from the
> copied git repositories as described above.
