### Installing btcdeb ### Installing btcdeb
From some appropriate folder (e.g. `~/workspace`), clone the btcdeb project from Github and compile/install it. Note that it is recommended that you install readline, as this makes the debugger a lot easier to use (history using up/down arrows, left-right movement, autocompletion using tab, etc.). The package is usually called `libreadline-dev` (linux) or just `readline` (mac). From some appropriate folder (e.g. `~/workspace`), clone the btcdeb project from Github and compile/install it.
```Bash ```Bash
$ sudo apt-get install git
$ git clone https://github.com/kallewoof/btcdeb.git $ git clone https://github.com/kallewoof/btcdeb.git
```
Then, get C++ and other packages installed, so that you can get `btcdeb` running.
```Bash
$ sudo apt-get install autoconf
$ sudo apt-get install libtool
$ sudo apt-get install g++
$ sudo apt-get install pkg-config
$ sudo apt-get install make
$ cd btcdeb $ cd btcdeb
$ ./autogen.sh $ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure $ ./configure
$ make $ make
$ make install $ sudo make install
```
After all of that, you should have a copy of `btcdeb`:
```
$ which btcdeb
/usr/local/bin/btcdeb
```
It is recommended that you all install readline, as this makes the debugger a lot easier to use by supporting history using up/down arrows, left-right movement, autocompletion using tab, etc. The package is usually called `libreadline-dev` (linux) or just `readline` (mac).
```Bash
$ sudo apt-get install libreadline-dev
``` ```
