Steem Installation Commands Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit

in #steem8 years ago

I had some trouble finding a good guide to install steemd on Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit. Here are the commands I used to make it work (most are from https://steem.io/documentation/how-to-build/):

apt-get install software-properties-common

add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test

apt-get update

export BOOST_ROOT=$HOME/opt/boost_1_60_0

apt install autotools-dev build-essential g++ libbz2-dev libicu-dev python-dev

wget -c 'http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.60.0/boost_1_60_0.tar.bz2/download' -O boost_1_60_0.tar.bz2

tar xjf boost_1_60_0.tar.bz2

cd boost_1_60_0/

./bootstrap.sh "--prefix=$BOOST_ROOT"

./b2 install

apt install gcc-4.9 g++-4.9 cmake make libbz2-dev libdb++-dev libdb-dev libssl-dev openssl doxygen libreadline-dev autoconf libtool git libncurses5-dev

cd ~

git clone https://github.com/steemit/steem

cd steem

git submodule update --init --recursive

cmake -DBOOST_ROOT="$BOOST_ROOT" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .

make

TROUBLESHOOTING
If you still get an error, try

rm CMakeCache.txt in ~/steem/

thank you, this worked for me.
The only issue I had was unrelated to steem and its dependencies. I solved that problem by pinning the problem package.

Glad I could get thru this part because next on my agenda is a rebuild of the steemit server and client!! :)

I also need to
sudo apt-get install autoconf libtool
