Also read the [Public Testing Guide](https://lokidocs.com/Lokinet/Guides/PublicTestingGuide/#1-lokinet-installation) for installation and other helpful information.
The MacOS installer places the normal binaries (`lokinet` and `lokinet-bootstrap`) in `/usr/local/bin` which should be in your path, so you can easily use the binaries from your terminal. The installer also nukes your previous config and keys and sets up a fresh config and downloads the latest bootstrap seed.
install (elevated) to `$PROGRAMFILES/lokinet` or `$ProgramFiles(x86)/lokinet`:
$ make install
if cross-compiling, install mingw-w64 from your distro's package manager, or [build from source](https://sourceforge.net/p/mingw-w64/wiki2/Cross%20Win32%20and%20Win64%20compiler/), then:
$ mkdir -p build; cd build
$ export COMPILER=clang # if using clang for windows
NOTE: Oracle Solaris users need to download/compile the TAP driver from http://www.whiteboard.ne.jp/~admin2/tuntap/
The generated binaries _may_ work on Solaris 2.10 or earlier, you're on your own. (Recommended: `-static-libstdc++ -static-libgcc`, and the TAP driver if not already installed on the target system.)
Building on a v2.10 or earlier system is unsupported, and may not even work; recent GCC releases have progressively dropped support for older system releases.
