Building Hermes #

You need to start with installing the libraries and utilities that we’re going to need.

For Debian the command is:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev git

We need build-essential for building binary libraries and libssl-dev as backend for Themis.

Let’s download and install Themis into your system:

git clone https://github.com/cossacklabs/themis
cd themis
make && sudo make install
cd ..

Now you should download and install Hermes-core:

git clone https://github.com/cossacklabs/hermes-core
cd hermes-core
make && sudo make install

Verify Hermes-core #

To verify Hermes-core, build and run the tests:

make test

You’re going to see a similar output on success:
