How to install nntpchan on Debian stable

Install the initial dependencies:

apt-get -y --no-install-recommends install imagemagick sox git ca-certificates \
ffmpeg build-essential tcl8.5 postgresql postgresql-contrib

Configure postgresql

su - postgres -c "createuser --pwprompt --encrypted srnd"
su - postgres -c "createdb srnd"

Don't forget the password you make for the srnd user, you will need it for configuration.

Install golang

Download the golang tarball, extract it to /usr/local, and add it to the global profile:

cd /opt
wget https://storage.googleapis.com/golang/go1.9.linux-amd64.tar.gz
tar -C /usr/local/ -xvzf go1.9.linux-amd64.tar.gz
echo 'export PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin"' >> /etc/profile

Your PATH is set at login, so log out and back in before proceeding.

Install nntpchan

cd /opt
git clone https://github.com/majestrate/nntpchan.git
cd nntpchan
make

Now you can proceed with setting up NNTPChan. When you get to the "set paths to external programs" step.
