How to Install Iguana on NetBSD

In this tutorial, we will go through the steps necessary to install Iguana on NetBSD. Iguana is a lightweight, multi-coin wallet that supports Bitcoin and various altcoins.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure that your NetBSD system is up to date and that you have the following prerequisites installed:

• Git
• CMake
• GCC
• Boost
• OpenSSL
• BerkeleyDB

Steps

1. Open a terminal and navigate to the directory where you want to install Iguana.
2. Clone the Iguana repository from GitHub using the following command:

git clone https://github.com/iguana-project/iguana.git

3. Navigate to the Iguana directory using the following command:

cd iguana

4. Create a new directory called "build" using the following command:

mkdir build

5. Navigate to the build directory using the following command:

cd build

6. Generate the makefiles using CMake using the following command:

cmake ..

7. Run make to build Iguana using the following command:

make

8. Wait while Iguana is built. This may take several minutes.

9. Once the build is complete, verify that it was successful by running the following command:

./iguana-cli help

If the build was successful, you should see a list of available commands in the output.

Conclusion

That's it! Iguana is now installed on your NetBSD system. To start using it, you can run the iguanad daemon using the following command:

./iguanad

From there, you can use the iguana-cli command-line tool to interact with the daemon and manage your cryptocurrencies.

If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!

Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
