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:

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.
