# Lokinet
[Español](readme_es.md)
Lokinet is the reference implementation of LLARP (low latency anonymous routing protocol), a layer 3 onion routing protocol.
You can learn more about the high level design of LLARP [here](docs/high-level.txt)
And you can read the LLARP protocol specification [here](docs/proto_v0.txt)
You can view documentation on how to get started [here](https://loki-project.github.io/loki-docs/Lokinet/LokinetOverview/) .

## Usage
See the [documentation](https://loki-project.github.io/loki-docs/Lokinet/LokinetOverview/) on how to get started.
Also read the [Public Testing Guide](https://lokidocs.com/Lokinet/Guides/PublicTestingGuide/#1-lokinet-installation) for installation and other helpful information.
## Running on Linux
**DO NOT RUN AS ROOT**, run as normal user. This requires the binary to have the proper setcaps set by `make install` on the binary.
to run as client:
$ lokinet -g
$ lokinet-bootstrap
$ lokinet
to run as relay:
$ lokinet -r -g
$ lokinet-bootstrap
$ lokinet
## Running on MacOS/UNIX/BSD
**YOU HAVE TO RUN AS ROOT**, run using sudo. Elevated privileges are needed to create the virtual tunnel interface.
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.
to run as client:
$ lokinet -g
$ lokinet-bootstrap
$ sudo lokinet
to run as relay:
$ lokinet -r -g
$ lokinet-bootstrap
$ sudo lokinet
## Running on Windows
**DO NOT RUN AS ELEVATED USER**, run as normal user.
to run as client, run the `run-lokinet.bat` batch file as your normal user.
## Building
Build requirements:
* GNU Make
* CMake
* C++ 17 capable C++ compiler
* gcovr (if generating test coverage with gcc)
* libuv >= 1.27.0
* libsodium
### Linux
build:
$ sudo apt install build-essential cmake git libcap-dev curl libuv1-dev libsodium-dev
$ git clone https://github.com/loki-project/loki-network
$ cd loki-network
$ make
install:
$ sudo make install
alternatively make a debian package with:
$ debuild -uc -us -b
this puts the built packages in `../`
### MacOS
build:
make sure you have cmake and xcode command line tools installed
$ git clone https://github.com/loki-project/loki-network
$ cd loki-network
$ make -j8
install:
$ sudo make install
### Windows
build (where `$ARCH` is your platform - `i686` or `x86_64`):
$ pacman -Sy base-devel mingw-w64-$ARCH-toolchain git libtool autoconf mingw-w64-$ARCH-cmake
$ git clone https://github.com/loki-project/loki-network.git
$ cd loki-network
$ mkdir -p build; cd build
$ cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=[Debug|Release] -DSTATIC_LINK_RUNTIME=ON -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=gcc -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=g++ -G 'Unix Makefiles'
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
$ cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=[Debug|Release] -DSTATIC_LINK_RUNTIME=ON -DCMAKE_CROSSCOMPILING=ON -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../contrib/cross/mingw[32].cmake
this will create a static binary that can be installed anywhere, with no other dependency other than libc (minimum v6.1)
### Solaris 2.10+
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.
build:
$ sudo pkg install build-essential gcc8 wget tuntap cmake (optional: ninja ccache - from omnios extra) (OmniOS CE)
$ sudo pkg install base-developer-utilities developer-gnu developer-studio-utilities gcc-7 wget cmake (Oracle Solaris, see note)
$ sudo pkg install build-essential wget gcc-8 documentation/tuntap header-tun tun (optional: ninja ccache) (all other SunOS)
$ git clone https://github.com/loki-project/loki-network
$ cd loki-network
$ gmake -j8
install:
$ sudo make install
### NetBSD (and other platforms where pkgsrc is _the_ native package mgr)
TODO: add pkgsrc instructions
### OpenBSD (uses legacy netbsd pkg manager)
build:
# pkg_add curl cmake git (optional: ninja ccache)
$ git clone https://github.com/loki-project/loki-network
$ cd loki-network
$ gmake -j8
install (root):
# gmake install
### FreeBSD
build:
$ pkg install cmake git curl libuv-1.27.0 libsodium
$ git clone https://github.com/loki-project/loki-network
$ cd loki-network
$ gmake -j8
install (root):
# gmake install
