Installing Cryptonote on NetBSD

Cryptonote is a cryptocurrency built on top of the Cryptonote protocol. In this tutorial, we will be installing Cryptonote on NetBSD.

Prerequisites

• NetBSD operating system
• A user with sudo privileges
• Latest version of Cryptonote software

Step 1: Install dependencies

Before we can install Cryptonote, we need to make sure all the dependencies are installed. Run the following command:

$ sudo pkg_add automake autoconf libtool git g++ boost

This command installs the following dependencies:

• automake: GNU Automake is a tool for automatically generating Makefile.in files compliant with the GNU coding standards
• autoconf: Autoconf is a tool for producing shell scripts that automatically configure software source code packages to adapt to many kinds of Posix-like systems
• libtool: GNU libtool is a generic library support macro reformatter
• git: A free and open source distributed version control system
• g++: GNU C++ compiler
• boost: A set of libraries for the C++ programming language

Step 2: Clone Cryptonote repository

Next, we will clone the Cryptonote repository from Github. Run the following command:

$ git clone https://github.com/cryptonotefoundation/cryptonote.git

This command clones the Cryptonote repository into a new directory named cryptonote.

Step 3: Build Cryptonote

Navigate to the cryptonote directory and build the software using the following commands:

$ cd cryptonote
$ make

This command builds the Cryptonote software.

Step 4: Run Cryptonote

To run Cryptonote, use the following command:

$ ./cryptonoted

This command starts the Cryptonote daemon.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we installed Cryptonote on NetBSD. You can now use Cryptonote to create your own cryptocurrency or mine existing cryptocurrencies built on the Cryptonote protocol.
