Installation

To install, follow the detailed installation instructions at http://wiki.volkszaehler.org/software/controller/vzlogger/installation_cpp-version

If you're impatient you can quickstart using (Debian Wheezy):

sudo apt-get install build-essential git-core cmake pkg-config subversion libcurl3-dev \
  libgnutls-dev libsasl2-dev uuid-dev uuid-runtime libtool dh-autoreconf libunistring-dev

For Debian Jessie be sure to add:

sudo apt-get install libgcrypt20-dev

For Debian Stretch use:

sudo apt-get install git cmake autoconf libtool uuid-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libssl-dev \
  libgnutls28-dev libgcrypt20-dev libmicrohttpd-dev libsasl2-dev libunistring-dev

Ubuntu 18.04LTS (bionic) needs an additional:

sudo apt-get install libunistring-dev (this might be needed on others now as well as we link unconditionally against libunistring)

If you want to use MQTT support: sudo apt-get install libmosquitto-dev

Then run the installation:

wget --no-check-certificate https://raw.github.com/volkszaehler/vzlogger/master/install.sh
sudo bash install.sh
