# 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:
|
|
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".
