In this tutorial, we will be going through a step-by-step guide on how to install Twister on your Debian latest operating system. Twister is a peer-to-peer microblogging platform that uses a blockchain-based decentralized architecture.
Before we proceed, ensure that your Debian latest operating system is updated by running the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
To install Twister on Debian latest, we need to install some required dependencies. Run the following command to install required dependencies:
sudo apt install build-essential git libqt5svg5-dev qtbase5-dev qttools5-dev-tools libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler libboost-all-dev qttools5-dev libssl-dev
Next, we need to clone the Twister Git repository to our system. To do that, run the following command in your terminal:
git clone https://github.com/miguelfreitas/twister-core.git
After we have cloned the Twister Git repository, let's build and install it. Follow the steps below:
Navigate into the Twister core directory:
cd twister-core/
Generate the makefiles:
qmake twister.pro
Build the Twister source code:
make -j4
Install Twister:
sudo make install
Once we have installed Twister successfully, we can now start using it. To start Twister, we use the command below:
