First you have to install the dependencies. This depends on your Linux distribution. If unsure you can try lsb_release -d to check your distribution.

Then install dependencies using the instructions for your distribution:

• Ubuntu
• ArchLinux
• OpenSuSE

Finally proceed to instructions after dependencies

For Ubuntu

1. Make sure that that you are running Ubuntu 18 or later:

   (earlier versions of ubuntu requires manually installing the latest version of erlang, because the package manager installs an old version)

   Use this command to check your version number

   lsb_release -a
   

2. Make sure that your system is up-to-date:

   sudo apt-get update
   

   and

   sudo apt-get upgrade
   

3. Install following dependencies:

   sudo apt install erlang-asn1 erlang-public-key erlang-ssl erlang-inets erlang-jiffy erlang-dev erlang-base-hipe libncurses5-dev libssl-dev unixodbc-dev g++ git make python
   

For ArchLinux

1. Make sure your system is up to date. This step is important, because it also synchronises repository database:

   sudo pacman -Syu
   

2. Install the dependencies:

   pacman -S --needed community/erlang extra/git extra/unixodbc core/gcc core/ncurses extra/wget
   

   you also need awk and make

For OpenSuSE

Tested on OpenSuSE Leap 42.3. OpenSuSE requires manual compilation and instalation of Erlang.

1. Install the dependencies:

+ java-1_8_0-openjdk-Devel 
+ gcc
+ gcc-c++
+ git
+ make
+ m4
+ ncurses-devel
+ libopenssl-devel

2. Install Erlang from source:

• get the source:

  wget http://erlang.org/download/otp_src_20.0.tar.gz
  

• verify the tarball:

  tar tvzf otp_src_20.0.tar.gz
  

• unpack tarball:

  tar xzf otp_src_20.0.tar.gz
  

• prepare environment (follow steps of erlang install readme):

  cd otp_src_20.0
  export ERL_TOP=`pwd`
  export LANG=C
  ./configure --enable-hipe
  

• compile & test it (still along erlang docs):

  make
  make release_tests
  cd release/tests/test_server
  $ERL_TOP/bin/erl -s ts install -s ts smoke_test batch -s init stop
  

• verify results in a browser (for example lynx):

  lynx index.html 
  

• install erlang:

  cd $ERL_TOP
  sudo make install 
  

• start erlang from your command line and see, if [hipe] is displayed.

After Dependencies

Next, download Amoveo. You should run following steps with a non-root user, for better security.

git clone https://github.com/zack-bitcoin/amoveo.git

Now you can go into the directory, and compile Amoveo.

cd amoveo/
make prod-build

Now you can run your node. For instructions proceed to turn_it_on.
