# How to build and install LokiNet on Linux Mint 32-bit

published: 2020-04-11

1. Install LokiNet’s build dependencies:

`sudo apt install build-essential cmake git libcap-dev curl libuv1-dev libsodium-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev pkg-config`

2. Clone the LokiNet Git repository:

`git clone https://github.com/loki-project/loki-network; cd loki-network`

`git submodule update --init --recursive`

3. Edit the Makefile to force the correct libsodium to be used.

Open `Makefile` in your text editor of choice. Find the line that says `DOWNLOAD_SODIUM`. Change `OFF` to `ON`.

4. Build and install LokiNet:

`make` `sudo make install`

5. Bootstrap and run:

`lokinet -g`

`lokinet-bootstrap`

`lokinet`

If the LokiNet executable complains about not being able to set up network interfaces, run this command:

`sudo setcap cap_net_admin,cap_net_bind_service=+eip /path/to/lokinet/executable`
