Compile bark from source
The first step is to get the code which you can clone from the repository.
git clone https://codeberg.org/ark-bitcoin/bark
cd bark
You will also need a Rust compiler. The rustup-website offers installation instructions for almost any platform.
Additional dependencies can be downloaded using your package manager.
apt update
apt install build-essential clang protobuf-compiler
yum install gcc make clang protobuf-compiler
brew install gcc make llvm@14 protobuf
# TODO: Test this
winget install protobuf ezwinports.make LLVM.LLVM
# This assumes you have enabled some experimental features in nix.
nix develop
You can build the code using cargo. The cargo build command will
only build the binary. The cargo install command will build the the
binary and add it to your path.
cargo build --bin bark
./target/debug/bark --version
cargo install --locked --path ./bark
bark --version
Run bark --version to verify that the installation completed successfully.
