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.
Building
The following build process generally applies to Ubuntu (and similar) Linux distributions. For best results it is recommended to use Ubuntu Linux 16.04 or later. Build HUSH along with most dependencies from source by running Get dependencies:
sudo apt-get install \
build-essential pkg-config libc6-dev m4 g++-multilib \
autoconf libtool ncurses-dev unzip git python \
zlib1g-dev wget bsdmainutils automake
Create a HUSH configuration file (important):
./bin/genhushconfig
This script will never touch an existing ~/.hush, it will only create a new one for the first time and populate it with a basic config file.
Downloading Git source repo, building and running Hush
# pull
git clone https://github.com/MyHush/hush.git
cd hush
# fetch key
./zcutil/fetch-params.sh
# Build
./zcutil/build.sh -j$(nproc)
# Run a HUSH node
./src/hushd
Supported Platforms
Currently only Linux is officially supported. Windows/Mac OS X versions are in the works...
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
