I2P source installation instructions
Prerequisites to build from source:
Java SDK (preferably Oracle/Sun or OpenJDK) 1.6.0 or higher
Non-linux operating systems and JVMs: See http://trac.i2p2.de/wiki/java
Apache Ant 1.7.0 or higher
Optional, For multilanguage support: The xgettext, msgfmt, and msgmerge tools installed
from the GNU gettext package http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/
To build and install I2P from source, you must first build
and package up the appropriate installer by running:
ant pkg
This will produce a few key files:
* install.jar: the GUI and console installer
* i2pinstall.exe: the GUI and console installer wrapped for cross-platform execution
* i2pupdate.zip: the update package
From there, you can run the headless (console mode) installer:
java -jar i2pinstall.exe -console
Or run the GUI installer:
java -jar i2pinstall.exe
Or move the i2pupdate.zip file into an existing installation directory and restart.
To start I2P:
(*nix): sh i2prouter start
(win*): I2P.exe
(non-x86 platforms PPC, ARM, etc): sh runplain.sh
To stop I2P (gracefully):
lynx http://localhost:7657/summaryframe (click "Shutdown")
To stop I2P immediately:
sh i2prouter stop
To uninstall I2P:
rm -rf $I2PInstallDir ~/.i2p
