This tutorial will guide you on how to install GNUnet on Windows 10 using Cygwin.
Before you begin the installation, you need to make sure that you have the following requirements:
Cygwin provides a Unix-like environment that runs on Windows. You can download the latest version of Cygwin from the official website at https://www.cygwin.com/.
Once the download is complete, extract the Cygwin installer and run it. Follow the on-screen instructions to install Cygwin with default settings.
Once Cygwin is installed, go to the official GNUnet website at https://gnunet.org/ and download the installer for Windows.
After downloading the installer, extract the contents of the zip file to a folder on your machine.
Open the Cygwin terminal and navigate to the extracted folder by running the following command:
cd path/to/gnunet/folder
Note: Replace "path/to/gnunet/folder" with the actual path to the folder where you extracted the GNUnet installer.
Next, run the following command to install GNUnet:
./gnunet-install.exe
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
To verify the installation, open the Cygwin terminal and run the following command:
gnunet-arm -s
If the installation was successful, you should see output similar to the following:
Gnunet-arm version 0.14.1
The following subsystems are operational: NAT traversal service, TCP service, Peerinfo service, Statistics service, Transport testing service.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed GNUnet on Windows 10 using Cygwin.
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!
