Building

The latest stable version of Armory is available in precompiled, GPG-signed binaries for Windows, Ubuntu/Debian, and Mac. You can download them from the releases page. Non-Debian-based Linux users will have to compile from source.

Building on Linux

Compiling in Linux has proven to be quite easy. There are only a couple of dependencies, and they're all versionless, so there are no games you have to play with system library versions in order to get it to work.

1. Install dependencies:

$ sudo apt-get install git build-essential automake autotools-dev autoconf pkg-config python-psutil libtool protobuf-compiler libprotobuf-dev swig python3-dev python3-pip libtool-bin
$ pip install psutil, protobuf, cffi

2. Clone the following libraries and build them:
   • libbtc
   • libwebsockets (disable SSL or use system library)
3. Update and start submodules (git submodule update --init --recursive)
4. In the root folder, start the build process. Replace /path/to/libwebsockets and /path/to/libbtc with the path to the folders you built each library in:

$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure --with-own-lws=/path/to/libwebsockets --with-own-libbtc=/path/to/libbtc
$ mkdir build & cd build
$ make -j4

5. Build required python module:

$ cd c20p1305_cffi
$ python3 c20p1305_cffi.py --libbtc_path=path/to/libbtc

Building on Windows

Warning

The instructions below may be outdated and will be updated in time.

Building on Windows however is more complicated and involves downloading and manually installing 7 packages, as well as Microsoft Visual Studio to compile the C++ code and create a Python module.
