Ubuntu (64-bit) Build and Install Instructions

As of writing, we support building on Ubuntu 16.04, 18.04 and 20.04 LTS releases. The following dependencies are recommended for a clean install on Ubuntu (64-bit):

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install autoconf cmake make automake libtool git libboost-all-dev libssl-dev g++ libcurl4-openssl-dev doxygen

Build BitShares Core

git clone https://github.com/bitshares/bitshares-core.git
cd bitshares-core
git submodule update --init --recursive
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .
make 

Build Support Boost Version

NOTE: BitShares Core requires a Boost version in the range [1.58 - 1.74]. Newer versions may work, but have not been tested. If your system came pre-installed with a version of Boost that you do not wish to use, you may manually build your preferred version and use it with BitShares by specifying it on the CMake command line. Example:

cmake -DBOOST_ROOT=/path/to/boost -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .
make
