39 When in doubt, compile from source: it’s easy and takes less than a minute on a raspberry pi 3.  The dependencies are:
40 
41 * libevent
42 * OpenSSL/LibreSSL
43 * libtls (from either LibreSSL or LibreTLS)
44 * yacc or GNU bison
45 
46 Once all the dependencies are installed, building is as easy as:
47 
48 ```Example of how to compile from source
49 $ curl -LO GITHUB/releases/download/VERS/gmid-VERS.tar.gz
50 $ tar xzvf gmid-VERS.tar.gz
51 $ cd gmid-VERS
52 $ ./configure
53 $ make
54 $ sudo make install # eventually
55 ```
56 
57 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.
