Do you have rust and cargo installed in ubuntu? (Gossip is written in Rust & cargo is like a package manager-thing for Rust)
I also started using Rust only last week. Noob here
Not sure lol
Open a terminal and type rustc --version. Then if it shows some version number it's installed
Not installed, so will install now. Should I do rustup or rustc ? And what is the difference
I think you'll have to use rustup
(rustc stands for rust compile). Will Google and let you know (I'm using windows).
Also it's possible when you're install the deb file, it will find dependencies and install rust
Run this...
rustup
that will install Rust
then go to the directory you want gossip to be installed...then run...
git clone https://github.com/mikedilger/gossip
then...
cd gossip
run there...
cargo build --release
that will build gossip for launching
to launch gossip client...
./target/release/gossip
Sounds intimidating but super easy....once you are setup...all you do from within the gossip directory...
git pull && cargo build --release && strip ./target/release/gossip && ./target/release/gossip
