Please Note

Instructions vary based on your operating system.

The Windows instructions are intended for Ubuntu to cross compile for Windows.

Linux

  1. Open the Terminal.

  2. Install dependencies:

    sudo apt-get install build-essential pkg-config libc6-dev m4 g++-multilib autoconf libtool ncurses-dev unzip git python python-zmq zlib1g-dev wget libcurl4-gnutls-dev bsdmainutils automake curl libsodium-dev

  3. Clone the Spacecoin repository:

    git clone https://github.com/SpaceWorksCo/spacecoin

  4. Enter the Spacecoin directory:

    cd spacecoin

  5. Fetch the zcash paramaters:

    ./zcutil/fetch-params.sh

  6. Build Spacecoin: (Replace -j4 with the number of cores you’d like to use.)

    ./zcutil/build.sh -j4

Spacecoin is built and ready to run.

Mac

  1. Open the Terminal.

  2. Install brew:

    /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

  3. Install Xcode: (A pop-up window will open to install CLT without installing the entire Xcode package.)

    xcode-select --install

  4. Update brew:

    brew update

  5. Upgrade brew:

    brew upgrade

  6. Install dependencies:

     brew tap discoteq/discoteq; brew install flock
 brew install autoconf autogen automake
 brew install gcc@8
 brew install binutils
 brew install protobuf
 brew install coreutils
 brew install wget

  7. Clone the Spacecoin repository:

    git clone https://github.com/SpaceWorksCo/spacecoin

  8. Enter the Spacecoin directory:

    cd spacecoin

  9. Fetch the zcash paramaters:

    ./zcutil/fetch-params.sh

  10. Build Spacecoin: (Replace -j4 with the number of cores you’d like to use.)

    ./zcutil/build-mac.sh -j4

Spacecoin is built and ready to run.

Windows

  1. Open the Terminal.

  2. Install dependencies:

    sudo apt-get install build-essential pkg-config libc6-dev m4 g++-multilib autoconf libtool ncurses-dev unzip git python python-zmq zlib1g-dev wget libcurl4-gnutls-dev bsdmainutils automake curl cmake mingw-w64 libsodium-dev libevent-dev

  3. Install rust targeting x86_64-pc-windows:

     curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh
 source $HOME/.cargo/env
 rustup target add x86_64-pc-windows-gnu

  4. Configure to use POSIX variants:

     sudo update-alternatives --config x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc
 sudo update-alternatives --config x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++

  5. Clone the Spacecoin repository:

    git clone https://github.com/SpaceWorksCo/spacecoin

  6. Enter the Spacecoin directory:

    cd spacecoin

  7. Build Spacecoin: (Replace -j4 with the number of cores you’d like to use.)

    ./zcutil/build-win.sh -j4

Spacecoin is built and ready to run.
