Install cjdns

Install Dependencies

sudo apt-get install nodejs git build-essential python2.7

Next, clone the repo and build!

cd /opt/
git clone https://github.com/cjdelisle/cjdns.git
cd cjdns
./do

Now, check bash ./cjdroute
Make sure you got the swag.

LANG=C cat /dev/net/tun

If it says: cat: /dev/net/tun: File descriptor in bad state Good!
If it says: cat: /dev/net/tun: No such file or directory, create it using:

sudo mkdir -p /dev/net &&
sudo mknod /dev/net/tun c 10 200 &&
sudo chmod 0666 /dev/net/tun

After a little wait, the build should finish successfully. Now we want to configure cjdns to run as a daemon, so let’s create a link to the binary, generate a configuration file, and copy over the service file.

ln -s /opt/cjdns/cjdroute /usr/bin
(umask 077 && ./cjdroute --genconf > /etc/cjdroute.conf)
cp contrib/systemd/cjdns.service /etc/systemd/system/

Now that we have that, we can configure it in nano /etc/cjdroute.conf and enable it for automatic start on boot.

systemctl enable cjdns
systemctl start cjdns

You will connect automatically with WiFi, but you can peer over the Internet too! See more at the Whitepaper and the README!
