building the daemon

requirements

• linux or freebsd
• go 1.4 or higher
• libsodium 1.0 or higher
• imagemagick

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
