In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Iguana, an open-source cross-platform wallet, on Ubuntu Server Latest. Iguana is designed to support multiple cryptocurrencies and act as a secure communication channel.

We will go through the process of installing Iguana from scratch, including setting up the dependencies and ensuring a smooth installation process. So, let's dive in!

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have a few things in place:

• Ubuntu Server Latest (desktop version is fine too)
• Internet Connection
• Root access
• Minimum 4GB RAM
• Minimum 16GB of storage space

Once you have all of the above, make sure your server is updated to the latest version using the following command:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

Install Dependencies

Iguana requires a number of dependencies to run correctly. We will install these first to ensure that Iguana runs smoothly. Run the following command:

sudo apt-get install libxcb-xinerama0 libxrandr2 libglu1-mesa libxi-dev libxrandr-dev xorg-dev git ntp curl build-essential automake valgrind  libtool cmake g++ gcc binutils libc6-dev cmake pkg-config libssl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libgtest-dev libreadline-dev libncurses5-dev libboost-all-dev libbz2-dev libdb++-dev libdb-dev libssl-dev bison flex libreadline-dev libncurses-dev libexpat-dev  libz-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-thread-dev

Install Iguana

Now, let's get onto installing Iguana itself. We will do this by downloading and compiling the Iguana source code from GitHub.

1. First, let's create a directory where we will download and compile the Iguana source code. Run the following command to create the directory:

mkdir iguana

cd iguana

3. Clone the Iguana source code by running the following command:

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

5. Now let's set up the build environment for Iguana by running the following command:

cmake .

6. Once the build environment is set up, run the following command to initiate the build process:

make

7. The build process can take some time, so grab a cup of coffee and let it finish.

8. After the build process is complete, you should see the Iguana executable file in the ~/iguana/iguana directory.

Running Iguana
