On *nix:
Copyright (c) 2014, The Monero Project

Dependencies: GCC 4.7.3 or later, CMake 2.8.6 or later, and Boost 1.53 or later (except 1.54, more details here: http://goo.gl/RrCFmA).
You may download them from:
http://gcc.gnu.org/
http://www.cmake.org/
http://www.boost.org/
Alternatively, it may be possible to install them using a package manager.
---------------------
Development Resources
---------------------

To build, change to a directory where this file is located, and run `make'. The resulting executables can be found in build/release/src.
Web: monero.cc
Mail: dev@monero.cc
Github: https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero
IRC: #monero-dev on Freenode

Introduction
------------

Monero is a private, secure, untraceable currency. You are your bank, you control your
funds, and nobody can trace your transfers.

Privacy: Monero uses a cryptographically sound system to allow you to send and receive
funds without your transactions being easily revealed on the blockchain (the ledger of
transactions that everyone has). This ensures that your purchases, receipts, and all
transfers remain absolutely private by default.

Security: Using the power of a distributed peer-to-peer consensus network, every
transaction on the network is cryptographically secured. Individual wallets have a 24 word
mnemonic that is only displayed once, and can be written down to backup the wallet. Wallet
files are encrypted with a passphrase to ensure they are useless if stolen.

Untraceability: By taking advantage of ring signatures, a special property of certain
types of cryptography, Monero is able to ensure that transactions are not only
untraceable, but have an optional measure of ambiguity that ensures that transactions
cannot easily be tied back to an individual user or computer.

------------------
About this Project
------------------

This is the core implementation of Monero. It is open source and completely free to use
without restrictions, except for those specified in the license agreement below. There are
no restrictions on anyone creating an alternative implementation of Monero that uses the
protocol and network in a compatible manner.

As with many development projects, the repository on Github is considered to be the
"staging" area for the latest changes. Before changes are merged into that master repo,
they are tested by individual developers, as well as contributors who focus on thorough
testing and code reviews. That having been said, the repository should be carefully
considered before using it in a production environment, unless there is a patch in the
repository for a particular show-stopping issue you are experiencing. It is generally
a better idea to use a tagged release for stability.

Anyone is able to contribute to Monero. If you have a fix or code change, feel free to
submit is as a pull request. In cases where the change is relatively small or does not
affect other parts of the codebase it may be merged in immediately by any one of the
collaborators. On the other hand, if the change is particularly large or complex, it
is expected that it will be discussed at length either well in advance of the pull
request being submitted, or even directly on the pull request.

Compiling Monero
----------------

On Unix and Linux:

Dependencies: GCC 4.7.3 or later, CMake 2.8.6 or later, and Boost 1.53 or later (except
1.54, more details here: http://goo.gl/RrCFmA).

- To build, change to the root of the source code directory, and run 'make'.

- The resulting executables can be found in build/release/src.

Advanced options:
Parallel build: run `make -j<number of threads>' instead of `make'.
Debug build: run `make build-debug'.
Test suite: run `make test-release' to run tests in addition to building. Running `make test-debug' will do the same to the debug version.
Building with Clang: it may be possible to use Clang instead of GCC, but this may not work everywhere. To build, run `export CC=clang CXX=clang++' before running `make'.

- Parallel build: run 'make -j<number of threads>' instead of 'make'.

- Debug build: run 'make build-debug'.

- Test suite: run 'make test-release' to run tests in addition to building. Running
'make test-debug' will do the same to the debug version.

- Building with Clang: it may be possible to use Clang instead of GCC, but this may not
work everywhere. To build, run 'export CC=clang CXX=clang++' before running 'make'.

On OS X:

The project can be built from scratch by following instructions for Unix and Linux above.

Alternatively, it can be built in an easier and more automated fashion using Homebrew:

- Ensure Homebrew is installed, it can be found at http://brew.sh

- Add the repository: brew tap sammy007/cryptonight

- Build wallet: brew install --HEAD bitmonero

On Windows:
Dependencies: MSVC 2012 or later, CMake 2.8.6 or later, and Boost 1.53 or later. You may download them from:
http://www.microsoft.com/
http://www.cmake.org/
http://www.boost.org/

To build, change to a directory where this file is located, and run this commands:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -G "Visual Studio 11 Win64" ..
Dependencies: MSVC 2013 or later, CMake 2.8.6 or later, and Boost 1.53 or later.

- To build, change to the root of the source code directory, and run these commands:

And then do Build.
Good luck!
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -G "Visual Studio 12 Win64" -DBOOST_ROOT="c:\folder\to\boost_1_55_0"
-DBOOST_LIBRARYDIR="c:\folder\to\boost_1_55_0\lib64-msvc-12.0"
msbuild Project.sln /p:Configuration=Release

- If you don't have your path environment variable configured with the VS paths, you may
may want to run 'C:\program files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat'
(or equivalent) to temporarily set the environment variables.

Build documentation (Doxygen) :
Pequired Packages:
* doxygen
* graphviz (optional)
----------------------
Building Documentation
----------------------

From root code directory, execute :
Monero developer documentation uses Doxygen, and is currently a work-in-progress.

doxygen Doxyfile
Dependencies: Doxygen 1.8.0 or later, Graphviz 2.28 or later (optional)

If you have installed *graphviz*, you can also generate in-doc diagrams :
- To build, change to the root of the source code directory, and run 'doxygen Doxyfile'

HAVE_DOT=YES doxygen Doxyfile
- If you have installed Graphviz, you can also generate in-doc diagrams by instead running
'HAVE_DOT=YES doxygen Doxyfile'

The output will go in **doc/html/**
- The output will be built in doc/html/
