## Build from source
### build dep
* git
* make
* build-essential

### server dependencies
* libssl-dev
* libsqlite3-dev

### build
When all dependencies are installed, the build can be done with a few single command lines:

```bash
mkdir antd
cd antd
# build without plugin
wget -O- https://get.makeand.run/antd | bash -s ""
```
The script will ask for a place to put the binaries (should be an absolute path, otherwise the build will fail) and the default HTTP port for the server config.
