# Lokinet
[Español](readme_es.md) [Русский](readme_ru.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://docs.oxen.io/products-built-on-oxen/lokinet) .
A simple demo application that is lokinet "aware" can be found [here](https://github.com/majestrate/lokinet-aware-demos)
[![Build Status](https://ci.oxen.rocks/api/badges/oxen-io/loki-network/status.svg?ref=refs/heads/dev)](https://ci.oxen.rocks/oxen-io/loki-network)
## Building
Build requirements:
* Git
* CMake
* C++ 17 capable C++ compiler
* libuv >= 1.27.0
* libsodium >= 1.0.18
* libcurl (for lokinet-bootstrap)
* libunbound
* libzmq
* sqlite3
### Linux
You do not have to build from source if you are on debian or ubuntu as we have apt repositories with pre-built lokinet packages on `deb.oxen.io`.
You can install these using:
$ sudo curl -so /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/oxen.gpg https://deb.oxen.io/pub.gpg
$ echo "deb https://deb.oxen.io $(lsb_release -sc) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/oxen.list
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install lokinet
if you want to build a dev build you can do the following:
$ sudo apt install build-essential cmake git libcap-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libuv1-dev libsodium-dev pkg-config
$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/loki-project/loki-network
$ cd loki-network
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake .. -DBUILD_STATIC_DEPS=ON -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF -DSTATIC_LINK=ON
$ make -j$(nproc)
install:
$ sudo make install
### macOS
You can get the latest stable macos relase from https://lokinet.org/ or check the releases page on github.
alternatively you can build from source, make sure you have cmake, libuv and xcode command line tools installed:
$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/loki-project/loki-network
$ cd loki-network
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake .. -DBUILD_STATIC_DEPS=ON -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF -DSTATIC_LINK=ON
$ make -j$(sysctl -n hw.ncpu)
install:
$ sudo make install
### Windows
You can get the latest stable windows release from https://lokinet.org/ or check the releases page on github.
windows builds are cross compiled from debian/ubuntu linux
additional build requirements:
* nsis
* cpack
setup:
$ sudo apt install build-essential cmake git pkg-config mingw-w64 nsis ninja-build
building:
$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/loki-project/loki-network
$ cd loki-network
$ ./contrib/windows.sh
### 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 --recursive https://github.com/loki-project/loki-network
$ cd loki-network
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make -j$(nproc)
install:
$ sudo make install
### FreeBSD
build:
$ pkg install cmake git pkgconf
$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/loki-project/loki-network
$ cd loki-network
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF -DSTATIC_LINK=ON -DBUILD_SHARED_DEPS=ON ..
$ make
install (root):
# make install
## Usage
### Debian / Ubuntu packages
When running from debian package the following steps are not needed as it is already ready to use.
## Create default config
to configure as client:
$ lokinet -g
$ lokinet-bootstrap
to configure as relay:
$ lokinet -r -g
$ lokinet-bootstrap
## 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, after you create default config:
$ 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, after you create default config:
$ sudo lokinet
