joinmarket-clientserver/INSTALL.md

Installation on Linux

To install everything (client and server), install these packages:

sudo apt-get install python-dev python-pip git build-essential automake pkg-config libtool libffi-dev libssl-dev

(+ libsodium-dev if you can find it, else build after)

(to build libsodium after):

git clone git://github.com/jedisct1/libsodium.git
cd libsodium
git checkout tags/1.0.4
./autogen.sh
./configure
make check
sudo make install
cd ..

Then:

sudo pip install virtualenv
mkdir jmvenv
cd jmvenv; source bin/activate; cd ..

Install this repo in the virtualenv:

git clone https://github.com/AdamISZ/joinmarket-clientserver
cd joinmarket-clientserver

Installing packages to run everything in-one:

python setupall.py --daemon
python setupall.py --client-bitcoin

If you have installed this "full" version of the client, you can use it with the command line scripts as explained in the scripts README.

Installing the daemon separately

Just do

python setupall.py --daemon

Then, you can run the daemon on its own with

cd scripts; python joinmarketd.py <port number>

The reason for doing this may be either (1) to run command-line scripts provided here, but in a separate process from the daemon; or, (2) to run a separate (e.g. wallet plugin) codebase to do the bitcoin operations.

In the former case you will need still to install the local packages:

python setupall.py --client-bitcoin

and then edit your joinmarket.cfg section DAEMON, setting no_daemon = 0.

The latter case applies to the Electrum plugin, see here.

There, you need to install the client code (without Joinmarket's bitcoin):

python setupall.py --client-only
