I've been seeing a lot of posts about building from source and mining STEEM, so naturally I thought I'd shared my build script so you can get started easily.
Here goes:
read -p "Enter your private key: " WIFPRIVATEKEY;
read -p "Enter your account name: " ACCOUNTNAME;
export BOOST_ROOT=$HOME/opt/boost_1_57_0
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install autotools-dev build-essential \
g++ libbz2-dev libicu-dev python-dev
wget -c 'http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.57.0/boost_1_57_0.tar.bz2/download'\
-O boost_1_57_0.tar.bz2
sha256sum boost_1_57_0.tar.bz2
# "910c8c022a33ccec7f088bd65d4f14b466588dda94ba2124e78b8c57db264967"
tar xjf boost_1_57_0.tar.bz2
cd boost_1_57_0/
./bootstrap.sh "--prefix=$BOOST_ROOT"
./b2 install
cd ..
git clone https://github.com/steemit/steem
cd steem
cmake -DBOOST_ROOT="$BOOST_ROOT"
make
./steemd --miner=["$ACCOUNTNAME","$WIFPRIVATEKEY"] --witness="$ACCOUNTNAME" --seed-node="52.38.66.234:2001"
Just save the above script in buildsteem.shand type chmod +x buildsteem.sh followed by ./buildsteem.sh in your terminal.
You will need to run this with a user that's able to do sudo and provide your password once the script begins.
Note that this may take a while, so you might as well grab a book or take a nap while it builds. If you've configured it correctly you'll be mining in no time.
