Arch Linux

pacman -S base-devel libgnome-keyring libmicrohttpd libupnp libxslt \
    libxss opencv qt4 speex speexdsp sqlcipher rapidjson

Checkout the source code

mkdir ~/retroshare
cd ~/retroshare 
git clone https://github.com/RetroShare/RetroShare.git trunk

Compile
```
cd trunk
qmake CONFIG+=debug
make
```

Install

sudo make install

The executables produced will be:

  /usr/bin/retroshare
  /usr/bin/retroshare-nogui

Uninstall:
```
sudo make uninstall
```

Compile only retroshare-nogui

If you want to run RetroShare on a server and don’t need the gui and plugins, you can run the following commands to only compile/install the nogui version:

qmake
make retroshare-nogui
sudo make retroshare-nogui-install_subtargets

For packagers

Packagers can use PREFIX and LIB_DIR to customize the installation paths:

qmake PREFIX=/usr LIB_DIR=/usr/lib64 "CONFIG-=debug" "CONFIG+=release"
make
make INSTALL_ROOT=${PKGDIR} install

If libsqlcipher is not available as a package

You need to place sqlcipher so that the hierarchy is:

  retroshare
      |
      +--- trunk
      |
      +--- lib
            |
            +---- sqlcipher

mkdir lib
cd lib
git clone git://github.com/sqlcipher/sqlcipher.git
cd sqlcipher
./configure --enable-tempstore=yes CFLAGS="-DSQLITE_HAS_CODEC" LDFLAGS="-lcrypto"
make
cd ..

Using retroshare-nogui & webUI

The webUI needs to be enabled as a parameter option in retroshare-nogui:

./retroshare-nogui --webinterface 9090 --docroot /usr/share/retroshare/webui/

The webUI is only accessible on localhost:9090. It is advised to keep it that way so that your RS cannot be controlled using an untrusted connection.

To access your web UI from a distance, just open a SSH tunnel on it:

distant_machine:~/ >  ssh rs_host -L 9090:localhost:9090 -N

"rs_host" is the machine running retroshare-nogui. Then on the distant machine, access your webUI on

  http://localhost:9090

That also works with a retroshare GUI of course.

Compile and run tests

  qmake CONFIG+=tests
  make
  tests/unittests/unittests
