Installation

Fedora

Currently packages are built only for the latest supported releases. The packages can be installed using dnf:

dnf -y copr enable bisdn/rofl
dnf -y copr enable bisdn/baseboxd
dnf -y install baseboxd

Copr repos are provided at https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/bisdn/ The "-testing" repos contain the latest builds for testing purposes and might not be as stable as the release versions.

Vagrant

A Vagrant file is included that let's you create a VM with all dependencies installed. This is an easy way to build baseboxd without having to worry about libraries.

git clone https://github.com/bisdn/basebox.git
cd basebox
git submodule update --init
vagrant up

More information how to use the Vagrant VM can be found here.
