Compile Monero on Fedora 23 x86_64

The example shows how to compile current github version of Monero, as of 10 Nov 2015, on Fedora 23 x86_64.

Preparation

Before proceeding to the compilation, the following packages are required:

#install git sudo dnf install git # install dependencies sudo dnf install make automake cmake gcc-c++ boost-devel miniupnpc-devel graphviz doxygen unbound-devel libdb-devel

Compilation

Having the dependencies, we can download the current Monero version and compile it as follows:

# download the latest bitmonero source code from github git clone https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero.git # go into bitmonero folder cd bitmonero/ # compile # cmake . # optional for configuration and checking what is available or missing make # or make -j number_of_threads, e.g., make -j 2

Installation (optional)

After successful compilation, the Monero binaries should be located in ./bin

I usually move the binaries into /opt/bitmonero/ folder. This can be done as follows:

# optional sudo mkdir /opt/bitmonero sudo mv ./build/release/bin/ * /opt/bitmonero/

Now we can start the Monero daemon and let it download the blockchain and synchronize itself with the Monero network. After that, you can run your the simplewallet .

# launch the Monero daemon and let it synchronize with the Monero network /opt/bitmonero/bitmonerod # launch the Monero wallet /opt/bitmonero/simplewallet

How can you help?

Constructive criticism, code and website edits are always good. They can be made through github.

Some Monero are also welcome:
