Installing manually on Linux
Yggdrasil is supported on Linux. You can either download the latest binary from CircleCI or you can build from source.
Build from source
Linux has most of the tools needed to build Yggdrasil from source - you just need to install the Go toolchain. Yggdrasil requires Go 1.11 as a minimum.
- Install the latest version of Go for your platform
- Using godeb to install Go is recommended for Debian-based distributions
Clone the repository and build:
cd /path/to
git clone https://github.com/yggdrasil-network/yggdrasil-go
Build Yggdrasil:
cd /path/to/yggdrasil-go
./build
The build will produce yggdrasil and yggdrasilctl binaries - copy these
into a suitable location:
sudo cp {yggdrasil,yggdrasilctl} /usr/local/bin
Debug builds
You can create a debug build by running ./build -d instead of
./build. Debug builds contain profiling code as well as additional debugging
symbols. They are likely to be larger files as a result.
Install systemd service
systemd service scripts are included in the contrib/systemd/ folder so that it
runs automatically in the background (using /etc/yggdrasil.conf for
configuration).
Create the yggdrasil group on your system - the systemd service will run
with this group:
sudo groupadd --system yggdrasil
Copy the service files:
sudo cp contrib/systemd/yggdrasil.service /etc/systemd/system
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
Enable and start Yggdrasil:
sudo systemctl enable yggdrasil
sudo systemctl start yggdrasil
Once installed as a systemd service, you can read the yggdrasil output using
systemctl or journalctl:
systemctl status yggdrasil
journalctl -u yggdrasil
Generate configuration
Generate an initial Yggdrasil configuration file:
sudo yggdrasil -genconf > /etc/yggdrasil.conf
You can make changes to this file as described in the Configuration page.
After installation
Read the Linux platform page page for further information about Linux platform support.
