installation guide

kamid has a short number of dependency, namely:

• libtls
• libevent
• readline

Sources can be fetched from:

kamid-0.2.tar.gz

SHA256

SHA256.sig

kamid-0.2.pub

It's strongly advised to verify the tarball before compiling. A SHA256 file is provided, but it can only detect accidental corruption. Instead, use signify(1) and SHA256.sig to cryptographically verify the downloaded tarball.

$ signify -Cp kamid-0.2.pub -x SHA256.sig
Signature Verified
kamid-0.2.pub: OK
kamid-0.2.tar.gz: OK
kamid-0.3.pub: OK

The signify pubkeys for this and the next release are:

kamid-0.2.pub:	RWRwqQVDYtY1jTc1lXqyu2e+ZGWgN/h3n/LE/at7pNTuJ1qWsogFvDh8
kamid-0.3.pub:	RWRfLLIt5kKXfLgtcP6xF/3SlaPOGsBRYl2Tl8husw3pObmkdh/hxqiL

Once the dependencies are installed, building is as easy as:

$ tar xzf kamid-0.2.tar.gz
$ cd kamid-0.2.tar.gz
$ ./configure
$ make
# make install	# eventually

This should install a few programs:

• kamid - the daemon itself
• kamictl - a comman-line utility to manage the daemon
• kamiftp - an ftp(1)-like 9p client
• kamiproxy - a proxy for clients that speak 9p in cleartext

and the relative manpages.

To set it up, proceed to the tutorial.
