# Building Hush
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Building Hush from source will take some time but your efforts will be rewarded :)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You will need at least 2GB of RAM to build hush from git source, OR
|
|
|
|
|
you can enable a swap file. To enable a 4GB swap file on modern Linux
|
|
|
|
|
distributions:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sudo fallocate -l 4G /swapfile
|
|
|
|
|
sudo chmod 600 /swapfile
|
|
|
|
|
sudo mkswap /swapfile
|
|
|
|
|
sudo swapon /swapfile
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You will need to have Git and a C++ compiler and libtool and a
|
|
|
|
|
a few other libraries, depending on your setup.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Supported Platforms
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We aim to support all platforms, but there is only so much time in the day.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Currently, any ARMv7 machine will not be able to build this repo, because the
|
|
|
|
|
underlying tech (zcash and the zksnark library) do not support that instruction
|
|
|
|
|
set.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This also means that RaspberryPi devices will not work, unless they have a newer ARMv8
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Compiling from Git source
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
git clone https://github.com/MyHush/hush.git
|
|
|
|
|
cd hush
|
|
|
|
|
./zcutil/build.sh
|
|
|
|
