# C-IPFS
|
|
IPFS implementation in C, (not just an API client library).
|
|
|
|
## Quick start for users:
|
|
* **ipfs init** to create an ipfs repository on your machine
|
|
* **ipfs add MyFile.txt** to add a file to the repository, will return with a hash that can be used to retrieve the file.
|
|
* **ipfs cat \[hash\]** to retrieve a file from the repository
|
|
|
|
## For techies (ipfs spec docs):
|
|
* [getting started](https://github.com/ipfs/specs/blob/master/overviews/implement-ipfs.md)
|
|
* [specifications](https://github.com/ipfs/specs)
|
|
* [getting started](https://github.com/ipfs/community/issues/177)
|
|
* [libp2p](https://github.com/libp2p/specs)
|

## Prerequisites: To compile the C version you will need:
|
|
[lmdb](https://github.com/jmjatlanta/lmdb)
|
|
[c-protobuf](https://github.com/Agorise/c-protobuf)
|
|
[c-multihash](https://github.com/Agorise/c-multihash)
|
|
[c-multiaddr](https://github.com/Agorise/c-multiaddr)
|
|
[c-libp2p](https://github.com/Agorise/c-libp2p)
|
|
|
|
And of course this project at https://github.com/Agorise/c-ipfs
|
|
|
|
The compilation at this point is simple, but not very flexible. Place all of these projects in a directory. Compile all (the order above is recommended) by going into each one and running "make all".
