How to Install OpenZiti on Arch Linux

OpenZiti is an open-source networking software that provides secure and reliable connectivity across multiple networks. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing OpenZiti on Arch Linux.

Prerequisites

Step 1: Install Dependencies

Before installing OpenZiti, you need to install some dependencies. Open a terminal and run the following command:

sudo pacman -S git cmake gcc make openssl boost boost-libs libuv libpcap

This command will install Git, CMake, GCC, OpenSSL, Boost, libuv, and libpcap. These packages are required for building and running OpenZiti.

Step 2: Clone the OpenZiti Repository

Once the dependencies are installed, you can clone the OpenZiti repository. Run the following command to clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/openziti/openziti.git

This will create a new directory named "openziti" and clone the repository inside it.

Step 3: Build OpenZiti

After cloning the repository, navigate to the "openziti" directory and run the following command to build OpenZiti:

cd openziti
mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
make

This command will create a build directory and run CMake for generating build files. The last command "make" will build OpenZiti.

Step 4: Install OpenZiti

After building OpenZiti, run the following command to install it:

sudo make install

This command will install OpenZiti on your Arch Linux system.

Step 5: Verify the Installation

To verify that OpenZiti is installed correctly, run the following command:

ziti -v

This command will show the version of the OpenZiti CLI. If you see the version number, it means OpenZiti is installed correctly.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed OpenZiti on Arch Linux. You can now use OpenZiti to create secure and reliable connections across multiple networks.
