+# building the daemon #

+## debian ##
+
+Debian Jessie has go 1.3, we need 1.4 or higher to build the nntpchan daemon so let's do that first, assumes 64bit linux:
+
+    #
+    #      --->>  DO NOT RUN AS ROOT <<---
+    # (you probably will break stuff really bad if you do)
+    #
+
+    # make directory for go's packages
+    mkdir -p $HOME/go
+
+    # set up a directory for our go distribution
+    mkdir -p $HOME/local
+    cd $HOME/local
+    
+    # obtain and unpack go binary distribution
+    wget https://storage.googleapis.com/golang/go1.4.2.linux-amd64.tar.gz -O go-stable.tar.gz
+    tar -xzvf go-stable.tar.gz
+
+    # set up environmental variables for go
+    export GOROOT=$HOME/local/go
+    export GOPATH=$HOME/go
+    export PATH=$GOROOT/bin:$GOPATH/bin:$PATH
+
+    # put environmental variables in bash_alises for later
+    echo 'export GOROOT=$HOME/local/go' >> $HOME/.bash_aliases
+    echo 'export GOPATH=$HOME/go' >> $HOME/.bash_aliases
+    echo 'export PATH=$GOROOT/bin:$GOPATH/bin:$PATH' >> $HOME/.bash_aliases
+
+
+We'll also need to install some dependancies that come with debian:
+
+    # as root
+
+    apt-get update
+    apt-get install libmagickwand-dev libsodium-dev
+
+
+Now you can build the daemon:
+
+    go get github.com/majestrate/srndv2
+    go install github.com/majestrate/srndv2
+
+It will create an executable at $GOPATH/bin/srndv2 which is already in our $PATH so it can be run by typing ``srndv2``
