Update requirements and other README.md clean up (#1343)
* Update requirements and other clean up

git is now required due to submodules
libcurl/libcap: not sure if the minimum version is correct, The number I used is based on the bionic package version
add recursive option to all cloning
other tweaks to make concise and  precise

* Remove libcurl

* Add nproc back

* add libcurl back for windows

* Remove libcurl from WIndows

as lokinet-bootstrap.exe is just curl.exe now and will be removed soon

# 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/) .
[![Build Status](https://drone.lokinet.dev/api/badges/loki-project/loki-network/status.svg?ref=refs/heads/master)](https://drone.lokinet.dev/loki-project/loki-network)
## 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.
### 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
## Running on Windows
**DO NOT RUN AS ELEVATED USER**, run as normal user.
## Building
Build requirements:
* Git
* CMake
* C++ 17 capable C++ compiler
* libuv >= 1.27.0
* libsodium >= 1.0.18
* gcovr (if generating test coverage with gcc)
### Linux
build:
$ sudo apt install build-essential cmake git libcap-dev curl libuv1-dev libsodium-dev pkg-config
$ 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
### MacOS
build:
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 ..
$ make -j$(nproc)
install:
$ sudo make install
### Windows
windows builds are cross compiled from ubuntu linux
additional build requirements:
* nsis
* cpack
setup:
$ sudo apt install build-essential cmake git pkg-config mingw-w64 nsis
building:
$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/loki-project/loki-network
$ cd loki-network
$ mkdir build-windows
$ cd build-windows
$ cmake -DNATIVE_BUILD=OFF -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DBUILD_PACKAGE=ON -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE='../contrib/cross/mingw64.cmake' -DWITH_TESTS=OFF -DCMAKE_CROSSCOMPILING=ON ..
$ cpack -D CPACK_MONOLITHIC_INSTALL=1 -G NSIS ..
### 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 curl libuv libsodium pkgconf
$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/loki-project/loki-network
$ cd loki-network
$ mkdir build
$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
$ make
install (root):
# make install
