Editing Telodendria (section)

== Compiling Telodendria from Git ==
Telodendria only needs a few dependencies: Cytoplasm (which can be built at the same time), a POSIX-compliant <code>libc</code> (with pthread support), and an optional TLS library (OpenSSL/LibreSSL).

To build it, you can first install Cytoplasm if your distribution supports it.
On Arch, you can use the AUR to install <code>cytoplasm-git</code>.

Then, clone and setup Telodendria with the following<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ git clone https://git.telodendria.io/Telodendria/Telodendria # use --recurse-submodules if Cytoplasm wasn't already installed
$ cd Telodendria

# If Cytoplasm wasn't already installed
$ cd Cytoplasm
$ ./configure # --disable-tls if you do not have OpenSSL or LibreSSL
$ make # You can use -j[jobs] there
$ cd ..

</syntaxhighlight>
Now, build it with<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ ./configure # in the Telodendria directory
$ make # You can use -j[jobs] here
</syntaxhighlight>
If you didn't already install Cytoplasm, make sure to either move the generated shared library (<code>Cytoplasm/out/lib/libCytoplasm.so</code>) to a standard search path by using <code>make install</code>, or add its directory to <code>LD_LIBRARY_PATH</code> for testing.

Then, to test that Telodendria works, one can run on its directory
<syntaxhighlight lang="shell-session">
$ ./out/bin/telodendria
</syntaxhighlight>
It should log <code>No database directory specified.</code> before shutting down.
