Running From Source

If you would like to run Picocrypt from source, or an executable isn't available for your platform, you've come to the right place. Running from source is very simple, and I've made it even easier with these simple instructions. Note that the instructions are generic and will work on any platform.

1. Prerequisites (only for Linux):

sudo apt-get install -y gcc make curl git tar wget xz-utils libx11-dev libxcursor-dev libxrandr-dev libxinerama-dev libxi-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libxxf86vm-dev libgtk-3-dev xdg-utils && sudo apt-get install -y libglx-dev || echo "" && sudo apt-get install -y xclip || sudo apt-get install xsel

2. Install the Go Programming Language from here, or from your package manager. Go 1.16 or higher is recommended.
3. Download the source file Picocrypt.go from above or git clone this repository.
4. Install Picocrypt's Go dependencies (if macOS prompts you to install clang, do it and run this command again):

go get -u -v github.com/pkg/browser && go get -u -v github.com/zeebo/blake3 && go get -u -v golang.org/x/crypto/sha3 && go get -u -v golang.org/x/crypto/argon2 && go get -u -v github.com/AllenDang/giu@v0.5.4 && go get -u -v github.com/OpenDiablo2/dialog && go get -u -v golang.org/x/crypto/blake2b && go get -u -v golang.org/x/crypto/blake2s && go get -u -v github.com/atotto/clipboard && go get -u -v github.com/klauspost/reedsolomon && go get -u -v golang.org/x/crypto/chacha20poly1305 && go get -u -v github.com/HACKERALERT/Picocypher/monocypher

5. Initialize Go and tidy the modules:

go mod init Picocrypt && go mod tidy

6. Go to where Picocrypt.go is located and build from source:

• Windows: go build -ldflags "-s -w -H=windowsgui -extldflags=-static" Picocrypt.go
• macOS: go build -ldflags "-s -w -extldflags=-static" Picocrypt.go
• Linux: go build -ldflags "-s -w" Picocrypt.go

7. You should now see a built executable (Picocrypt.exe/Picocrypt.app/Picocrypt) in your directory. If you're on Windows, go and download the sdelete64.exe from the list above and place it in the same directory as Picocrypt.exe.
8. You are now complete. Go ahead and run the executable you just built. Enjoy!
