Build go-waku

Go-waku can be built on Linux, macOS and Windows

Installing dependencies

Cloning and building go-waku requires Go +1.17, a C compiler, Make, Bash and Git.

Go can be installed by following these instructions

Linux

On common Linux distributions the dependencies can be installed with

# Debian and Ubuntu
sudo apt-get install build-essential git

# Fedora

brew install cmake

Building nwaku

1. Clone the nwaku repository

git clone https://github.com/waku-org/go-waku
cd nwaku

2. Build waku

make

This will create a waku binary in the ./build/ directory.

Note: Building waku requires 2GB of RAM. The build will fail on systems not fulfilling this requirement.

Setting up waku on the smallest digital ocean droplet, you can either

compile on a stronger droplet featuring the same CPU architecture and downgrade after compiling, or

activate swap on the smallest droplet, or

use Docker.
