How to Install Iguana on Void Linux

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Iguana, a multi-protocol wallet developed by the Iguana project, on Void Linux.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have the following:

Installing Dependencies

The first step is to install the necessary dependencies using the Void Linux package manager xbps-install. Open your terminal and run the following command:

sudo xbps-install -S libressl libcurl libevent

This will install the required libraries for Iguana to run.

Downloading Iguana

Next, we will download the Iguana binary from the official GitHub repository. Open your terminal and run the following command:

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

This will download the Iguana source code to your local machine.

Building Iguana

In this step, we will build Iguana from the source code we just downloaded. Navigate to the iguana directory using the terminal:

cd iguana

We will now build the Iguana binary using the make command:

make

This will take a few minutes to complete. Once finished, you should see an Iguana binary file in the iguana/src directory.

Running Iguana

Now that we have built the Iguana binary, we can run it using the terminal:

./src/iguana

This will launch Iguana on your computer. After launching Iguana, you can configure it to your liking and use it as a multi-protocol wallet.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Iguana on Void Linux. With Iguana installed, you can use it as a multi-protocol wallet to store and manage your cryptocurrencies.
