40 When in doubt, compile from source: it’s easy and takes less than a minute on a raspberry pi 3.  The dependencies are:
41 
42 * libevent
43 * OpenSSL/LibreSSL
44 * libtls (from either LibreSSL or LibreTLS)
45 * yacc or GNU bison
46 
47 Once all the dependencies are installed, building is as easy as:
48 
49 ```Example of how to compile from source
50 $ curl -LO GITHUB/releases/download/VERS/gmid-VERS.tar.gz
51 $ tar xzvf gmid-VERS.tar.gz
52 $ cd gmid-VERS
53 $ ./configure
54 $ make
55 $ sudo make install # eventually
56 ```
57 
58 A SHA256 file is available.  However, that only checks for accidental corruption: you can use signify (SHA256.sig and the public key gmid-CURV.pub) or GPG.  The hash of the signify public key is also included in the SHA256 file and thus signed with my GPG.  The signify public key for the next release ‘gmid-NEXTV.pub’ is also included.
