Twister is a peer-to-peer microblogging platform that uses a blockchain to maintain its network. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Twister on Clear Linux latest.
Before we proceed with the installation, ensure that you have the following:
In order to install Twister on Clear Linux latest, you need to install several packages first. You can do that by running the following command:
sudo swupd bundle-add devpkg-libdb devpkg-boost devpkg-ssl libmicrohttpd-devel
This will install the required packages needed to run Twister.
Once you have finished installing the dependencies, you can proceed to download and install Twister.
First, create a directory where you want to install Twister. For example, run the following command:
mkdir ~/twister
cd ~/twister
Next, download the latest Twister version using wget:
wget https://github.com/miguelfreitas/twister-core/releases/download/v0.9.38/twisterd.tar.gz
Extract the archive:
tar xvf twisterd.tar.gz
This will create a directory called twisterd.
Navigate to the twisterd directory:
cd twisterd
And compile the binaries:
make
This will build the executable file of the Twister daemon.
To run the Twister daemon, we need to first set up the configuration file. You can copy the example configuration file by running:
cp contrib/debian.conf.sample ~/.twister/twister.conf
Next, start the Twister daemon by running the following command:
