#### Building from git (DEVELOPMENT)
### SETUP
- For standalone builds you will need to add the `deps/boost/lib` directory
in your git repo to the library path:
`export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/src/deps/boost/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH`
- To ease these instructions we will refer to your server as `host.tld`. For
those familiar with matrix: this is your origin and mxid `@user:host.tld`
hostpart. If your DNS uses `matrix.host.tld` that subdomain is not involved
when we refer to `host.tld` unless we explicitly mention to involve it.
1. Execute
```
bin/construct host.tld
````
> There is no configuration file.
> Log messages will appear in terminal concluding with notice `IRCd RUN`.
2. Strike ctrl-c on keyboard
> The command-line console will appear.
3. Create a general listener socket by entering the following command:
- If you have existing TLS certificates, replace those parts of the
command with paths to your certificate and key, respectively. If you
do not, those files will be created and self-signed in the current
directory; another target path may be specified.
```
net listen matrix 0.0.0.0 8448 host.tld.crt host.tld.crt.key
```
> The Matrix Federation Tester should now pass. Browse to
https://matrix.org/federationtester/api/report?server_name=host.tld and
verify `"AllChecksOK": true`
4. Relax restrictions for self-signed certificates.
- Due to the current nature of the federation and the number of
unsophisticated personal deployments we have little choice but to
advise this step. We cannot, in good faith, ship this software
configured insecurely by default; therefor we leave this step to
you.
```
conf set ircd.net.open.allow_self_signed true
```
5. To use a web-based client like Riot, configure the "webroot" directory
to point at Riot's `webapp/` directory by entering the following:
```
conf set ircd.webroot.path /path/to/riot-web/webapp/
mod reload webroot
```
6. Browse to `https://host.tld:8448/` and register a user.
## Addendum
#### Additional build options
Development builds should follow the same instructions as the standalone
section above while taking note of the following `./configure` options:
