Building

PiHelper depends on cmake, curl, openssl, and json-c. On Fedora you can install the dependencies with the following command:

sudo dnf install cmake \
    gcc \
    gcc-c++ \
    libcurl-devel \
    openssl-curl \
    json-c-devel

Once you have the dependencies installed, you can build the project with cmake:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

If you'd like to install pihelper to your system, run the following after building:

sudo make install # This is optional, and only needed if you want to install command line utility
