Peershares Daemon and QT Client

Retrieve Dependency Packages

On recent Ubuntu releases, the libdb4.8++-dev package is not in the default repositories. However it's in the bitcoin repository, which we can add with:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin

Then we need to make sure our build environment is up to date. For Debian and Ubuntu:

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install git build-essential g++ libssl-dev libboost-all-dev libdb4.8++-dev libqrencode-dev qt4-qmake libqt4-dev

Download and Install Mini-UPnPC

$ mkdir miniupnpc
$ cd miniupnpc
$ wget "http://miniupnp.tuxfamily.org/files/miniupnpc-1.9.tar.gz"
$ tar -zxvf miniupnpc-1.9.tar.gz
$ cd miniupnpc-1.9/
$ sudo make install
$ cd ~/

Clone the Peershares Github Repository

$ git clone https://github.com/Peershares/Peershares.git

Note: If you run into an public key error while attempting to clone the repository, follow these steps to set up a valid RSA keypair. If you use Github, you can then add that pair to your account, for easier access in the future.

Compile the Peershares daemon (peersharesd)

$ cd ~/Peershares/src
$ make -f makefile.unix

# daemon will be compiled, and can be started from the command line

Compile the Peershares Wallet Client

$ cd ~/Peershares
$ qmake
$ make 

#qt wallet will be compiled, and can be run by double clicking peershares executable

###Create Peershares configuration file (peershares.conf) In any text editor (vi, vim, nano, etc.) open the file and insert the following content:

# 'Clean' configuration file for Peershares development
# Note: This setup does not look for, or connect to, remote network nodes

server=1
testnet=1

rpcuser=pstn
rpcpassword=pstn1
rpcport=9923

Save the changes to the file.
