install

if you haven't installed the bitcoin-core cgo or don't want to use it, this will work for anywhere:

go install -tags btcec git.replicatr.dev/cmd/vainstr@v0.0.8

note that this version is very much slower, ~1/4 the speed

if you follow the directions to build and install the dependencies for libsecp256k1 found in this repository here: ../../pkg/crypto/p256k you can leave out the build tag:

go install git.replicatr.dev/cmd/vainstr@v0.0.8

a linux binary release will also be available in the github releases page... for windows users, this can be run using WSL2 directly https://github.com/mleku/nodl/releases

you can also run it directly like this, omit the -tags btcec if you have the bitcoin core secp256k1 library installed:

 go run -tags btcec git.replicatr.dev/cmd/vainstr@latest
