Note:
[server version] denotes steps required for building command-line tools (daemon, simplewallet, etc.).
[GUI version] denotes steps required for building Zano executable with GUI.

Linux

Recommended OS versions: Ubuntu 20.04, 22.04 LTS.

Prerequisites

[server version]

sudo apt-get install -y build-essential g++ curl autotools-dev libicu-dev libbz2-dev cmake git screen checkinstall zlib1g-dev

[GUI version]

sudo apt-get install -y build-essential g++ python-dev autotools-dev libicu-dev libbz2-dev cmake git screen checkinstall zlib1g-dev mesa-common-dev libglu1-mesa-dev

Clone Zano into a local folder
(If for some reason you need to use alternative Zano branch, change 'master' to the required branch name.)
```
git clone --recursive https://github.com/hyle-team/zano.git -b master
```
In the following steps we assume that you cloned Zano into '~/zano' folder in your home directory.

Download and build Boost
(Assuming you have cloned Zano into the 'zano' folder. If you used a different location for Zano, edit line 4 accordingly.)

curl -OL https://boostorg.jfrog.io/artifactory/main/release/1.70.0/source/boost_1_70_0.tar.bz2
echo "430ae8354789de4fd19ee52f3b1f739e1fba576f0aded0897c3c2bc00fb38778  boost_1_70_0.tar.bz2" | shasum -c && tar -xjf boost_1_70_0.tar.bz2
rm boost_1_70_0.tar.bz2 && cd boost_1_70_0
patch -p0 < ../zano/utils/boost_1.70_gcc_8.patch || cd ..
./bootstrap.sh --with-libraries=system,filesystem,thread,date_time,chrono,regex,serialization,atomic,program_options,locale,timer,log
./b2 && cd ..

Make sure that you see "The Boost C++ Libraries were successfully built!" message at the end.

Install Qt
(GUI version only, skip this step if you're building server version)

[GUI version]
```
curl -OL https://download.qt.io/new_archive/qt/5.11/5.11.2/qt-opensource-linux-x64-5.11.2.run
chmod +x qt-opensource-linux-x64-5.11.2.run
./qt-opensource-linux-x64-5.11.2.run
```
Then follow the instructions in Wizard. Don't forget to tick the WebEngine module checkbox!

Install OpenSSL

We recommend installing OpenSSL v1.1.1w locally unless you would like to use the same version system-wide.
(Assuming that $HOME environment variable is set to your home directory. Otherwise, edit line 4 accordingly.)

curl -OL https://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.1.1w.tar.gz
echo "cf3098950cb4d853ad95c0841f1f9c6d3dc102dccfcacd521d93925208b76ac8  openssl-1.1.1w.tar.gz" | shasum -c && tar xaf openssl-1.1.1w.tar.gz 
cd openssl-1.1.1w/
./config --prefix=$HOME/openssl --openssldir=$HOME/openssl shared zlib
make && make test && make install && cd ..

[OPTIONAL] Set global environment variables for convenient use
For instance, by adding the following lines to ~/.bashrc

[server version]
```
export BOOST_ROOT=/home/user/boost_1_70_0  
export OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=/home/user/openssl
```
[GUI version]
```
export BOOST_ROOT=/home/user/boost_1_70_0
export OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=/home/user/openssl  
export QT_PREFIX_PATH=/home/user/Qt5.11.2/5.11.2/gcc_64
```
NOTICE: Please edit the lines above according to your actual paths.

NOTICE 2: Make sure you've restarted your terminal session (by reopening the terminal window or reconnecting the server) to apply these changes.
Build the binaries
1. If you skipped step 6 and did not set the environment variables:
```
cd zano && mkdir build && cd build
BOOST_ROOT=$HOME/boost_1_70_0 OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=$HOME/openssl cmake ..
make -j1 daemon simplewallet
```
2. If you set the variables in step 6:
```
cd zano && mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make -j1 daemon simplewallet
```
  or simply:
```
cd zano && make -j1
```
  NOTICE: If you are building on a machine with a relatively high amount of RAM or with the proper setting of virtual memory, then you can use -j2 or -j option to speed up the building process. Use with caution.
  
  NOTICE 2: If you'd like to build binaries for the testnet, use cmake -D TESTNET=TRUE .. instead of cmake .. .
3. Build GUI:
```
cd zano
utils/build_script_linux.sh
```
Look for the binaries in build folder

Windows

Recommended OS version: Windows 7 x64, Windows 11 x64.

Install required prerequisites (Boost, Qt, CMake, OpenSSL).
Edit paths in utils/configure_local_paths.cmd.
Run one of utils/configure_win64_msvsNNNN_gui.cmd according to your MSVC version.
Go to the build folder and open generated Zano.sln in MSVC.
Build.

In order to correctly deploy Qt GUI application, you also need to do the following:

Copy Zano.exe to a folder (e.g. depoy).
Run PATH_TO_QT\bin\windeployqt.exe deploy\Zano.exe.
Copy folder \src\gui\qt-daemon\html to deploy\html.
Now you can run Zano.exe

macOS

Recommended OS version: macOS Big Sur 11.4 x64.

Install required prerequisites.
Set environment variables as stated in utils/macosx_build_config.command.
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

To build GUI application:
