Installation
To run your own signal server, you have two options:
- Get a pre-compiled binary and go directly to the next section or
- Compile it manually from sources.
The following text describes the signal server's build process.
Prerequisites
Our signal server uses OPAM 2 package manager to manage its OCaml dependencies and build process. In Ubuntu 18.04+ you can install OPAM and other dependencies via
sudo apt-get install m4 pkg-config libgmp-dev libssl-dev
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:avsm/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install opam
Our project is designed to work with OCaml compiler version 4.06.1. You can switch to it using
opam init --bare # only if you haven't run OPAM 2 yet
eval $(opam env)
opam switch create 4.06.1
eval $(opam env)
opam update # updates repository
Building
First you need to download sources of the current release and extract it
curl -L https://github.com/jhrdina/pocket-mesh/archive/0.8.4.zip -o pocket-mesh.zip
unzip pocket-mesh.zip
then go to signal-server directory and run the build process:
cd pocket-mesh-0.8.4/signal-server
opam install .
make
OPAM will download, compile and install all necessary dependencies and also compile server itself. The resulting binary is located at _build/default/src/SignalServer.exe.
