How to get up and running with the Ouroboros prototype.
---
+
+### Get Ouroboros
+
+**Packages:**
+
+For ArchLinux users, the easiest way to try Ouroboros is via the [Arch
+User Repository](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ouroboros-git/),
+which will also install all dependencies.
+
+**Source:**
+
+You can clone the [repository](/cgit/ouroboros) over https or
+git:
+
+```bash
+$ git clone https://ouroboros.rocks/git/ouroboros
+$ git clone git://ouroboros.rocks/ouroboros
+```
+
+Or download a [snapshot](/cgit/ouroboros/) tarball and extract it.
+
+### System requirements
+
+Ouroboros builds on most POSIX compliant systems. Below you will find
+instructions for GNU/Linux, FreeBSD and OS X. On Windows 10, you can
+build Ouroboros using the [Linux Subsystem for
+Windows](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10) .
+
+You need [*git*](https://git-scm.com/) to clone the
+repository. To build Ouroboros, you need [*cmake*](https://cmake.org/),
+[*google protocol buffers*](https://github.com/protobuf-c/protobuf-c)
+installed in addition to a C compiler ([*gcc*](https://gcc.gnu.org/) or
+[*clang*](https://clang.llvm.org/)) and
+[*make*](https://www.gnu.org/software/make/).
+
+Optionally, you can also install
+[*libgcrypt*](https://gnupg.org/software/libgcrypt/index.html),
+[*libssl*](https://www.openssl.org/),
+[*fuse*](https://github.com/libfuse), and *dnsutils*.
+
+On GNU/Linux you will need either libgcrypt (≥ 1.7.0) or libssl if your
+[*glibc*](https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/) is older than version
+2.25.
+
+On OS X, you will need [homebrew](https://brew.sh/).
+[Disable System Integrity Protection](https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/Security/Conceptual/System_Integrity_Protection_Guide/ConfiguringSystemIntegrityProtection/ConfiguringSystemIntegrityProtection.html)
+during the
+[installation](#install)
+and/or
+[removal](#remove)
+of Ouroboros.
+
+### Install the dependencies
+
+**Debian/Ubuntu Linux:**
+
+```bash
+$ apt-get install git protobuf-c-compiler cmake
+$ apt-get install libgcrypt20-dev libssl-dev libfuse-dev dnsutils cmake-curses-gui
+```
+
+If during the build process cmake complains that the Protobuf C
+compiler is required but not found, and you installed the
+protobuf-c-compiler package, you will also need this:
+
+```bash
+$ apt-get install libprotobuf-c-dev
+```
+
+**Arch Linux:**
+
+```bash
+$ pacman -S git protobuf-c cmake
+$ pacman -S libgcrypt openssl fuse dnsutils
+```
+
+**FreeBSD 11:**
+
+```bash
+$ pkg install git protobuf-c cmake
+$ pkg install libgcrypt openssl fusefs-libs bind-tools
+```
+
+**Mac OS X Sierra / High Sierra:**
+
+```bash
+$ brew install git protobuf-c cmake
+$ brew install libgcrypt openssl
+```
+
+### Install Ouroboros
+
+We recommend creating a build directory:
+
+```bash
+$ mkdir build && cd build
+```
+
+Run cmake providing the path to where you cloned the Ouroboros
+repository. Assuming you created the build directory inside the
+repository directory, do:
+
+```bash
+$ cmake ..
+```
+
+Build and install Ouroboros:
+
+```bash
+$ sudo make install
+```
+
+### Advanced options
+
+Ouroboros can be configured by providing parameters to the cmake
+command:
+
+```bash
+$ cmake -D<option>=<value> ..
+```
+
+Alternatively, after running cmake and before installation, run
+[ccmake](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/manual/ccmake.1.html) to
+configure Ouroboros:
+
+```bash
+$ ccmake .
+```
+
+A list of all options can be found [here](/docs/reference/compopt).
+
+### Remove Ouroboros
+
+To uninstall Ouroboros, simply execute the following command from your
+build directory:
+
+```bash
+$ sudo make uninstall
+```
+
+To check if everything is installed correctly, you can now jump into
+the [Tutorials](../../tutorials/) section, or you can try to ping this
+webhost over ouroboros using the name _ouroboros.rocks.oping_
+
+Our webserver is of course on an IP network, and ouroboros does not
+control IP, but it can run over UDP/IP.
+
+To be able to contact our server over ouroboros, you will need to do
+some small DNS configuration: to tell the ouroboros UDP system that
+the process "ouroboros.rocks.oping" is running on our webserver by
+add the line
+
+```
+51.38.114.133 1bf2cb4fb361f67a59907ef7d2dc5290
+```
+
+to your ```/etc/hosts``` file[^1][^2].
+
+Here are the steps to ping our server over ouroboros:
+
+Run the IRMd:
+
+```bash
+$ sudo irmd &
+```
+Then you will need find your (private) IP address and start an ouroboros UDP
+daemon (ipcpd-udp) on that interface:
+```bash
+$ irm ipcp bootstrap type udp name udp layer udp ip <your local ip address>
+```
+
+Now you can ping our server:
+
+```bash
+$ oping -n ouroboros.rocks.oping
+```
+
+The output from the IRM daemon should look something like this (in DEBUG mode):
+```
+[dstaesse@heteropoda build]$ sudo irmd --stdout
+==01749== irmd(II): Ouroboros IPC Resource Manager daemon started...
+==01749== irmd(II): Created IPCP 1781.

+==01781== ipcpd/ipcp(DB): Locked thread 140321690191424 to CPU 7/8.

+==01781== ipcpd/udp(DB): Allocating flow to 1bf2cb4f.
+==01781== ipcpd/udp(DB): Destination UDP ipcp resolved at 51.38.114.133.
+==01781== ipcpd/udp(DB): Flow to 51.38.114.133 pending on fd 64.
+==01749== irmd(II): Flow on flow_id 0 allocated.
+==01781== ipcpd/udp(DB): Flow allocation completed on eids (64, 64).
+==01749== irmd(DB): Partial deallocation of flow_id 0 by process 1800.
+==01749== irmd(II): Completed deallocation of flow_id 0 by process 1781.
+==01781== ipcpd/udp(DB): Flow with fd 64 deallocated.
+==01749== irmd(DB): Dead process removed: 1800.
+```
+
+If connecting to _ouroboros.rocks.oping_ failed, you are probably
+behind a NAT firewall that is actively blocking outbound UDP port
+3435.
+
+[^1]: This is the IP address of our server and the MD5 hash of the
+ string _ouroboros.rocks.oping_. To check if this is configured
+ correctly, you should be able to ping the server with ```ping
+ 1bf2cb4fb361f67a59907ef7d2dc5290``` from the command line.
+
+[^2]: The ipcpd-udp allows setting up a (private) DDNS server and
+ using the Ouroboros ```irm name``` API to populate it, instead
+ of requiring each node to manually edit the ```/etc/hosts```
+ file. While we technically could also set up such a DNS on our
+ server for demo purposes, it is just too likely that it would be
+ abused. The Internet is a nasty place.
