Compiling

To compile the FriendNet server, you need the following prerequisites:

• The latest Go compiler
• Node.js 24.0 or higher (unless you skip the admin UI)
• Git
• make (If you are on Linux, you probably have it already)

First, clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/termermc/FriendNet.git

Then, compile the server:

make server

The compiled server will be in the server directory, named something like friendnet-server or friendnet-server.exe.

If you do not intend to use the admin UI, you can run:

make server-noui

This will build the server only without building the admin UI.

You will also need to compile the RPC client if you want to remotely manage the server:

make rpcclient

The RPC client will be in the rpcclient directory, named friendnet-rpcclient or friendnet-rpcclient.exe.
