Checkout the source code

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

Checkout the submodules

   cd retroshare
   git submodule update --init --remote libbitdht/ libretroshare/ openpgpsdk/ retroshare-webui/ 
   git submodule update --init --remote supportlibs/librnp supportlibs/restbed supportlibs/rapidjson

Compile

   qmake CONFIG+=release CONFIG+=rs_jsonapi CONFIG+=rs_webui
   make

Install

   sudo make install

The executable produced will be:

 - /usr/bin/RetroShare  

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

libsqlcipher

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 ..
