Useful pre-compiled TON binaries (fift, func, lite-client) for multiple operating systems. These binaries are needed for various tasks related to TON blockchain, such as querying the chain, sending transactions and compiling smart contracts.

1. Download the binaries from the Releases page of this repo - make sure to select the correct version according to the operating system you're using and install the additional dependencies:

   Operating System	fift	func	lite-client	Additional dependencies
   MacOS M1	fift	func	lite-client	brew install openssl
   MacOS Intel	fift	func	lite-client	brew install openssl brew reinstall readline
   Windows 64	fift	func	lite-client	Install OpenSSL 1.1.1
   Ubuntu 18	fift	func	lite-client	sudo apt install libssl-dev
   Ubuntu 16	fift	func	lite-client	sudo apt install libssl-dev
   Debian 10 (Out of date)	fift	func	lite-client	sudo apt install libssl-dev

2. After download, make sure the downloaded binaries are executable by changing their permissions (ie by running chmod +x fift). It's also useful to place these binaries in your path (or copy them to /usr/local/bin) to make sure you can access them from anywhere.

3. To check that everything was installed correctly, run in terminal fift -V && func -V && lite-client -V

4. If you plan to use fift, also download fiftlib.zip, open the zip in some directory on your machine (like /usr/local/lib/fiftlib) and set the environment variable FIFTPATH to point to this directory.

If you don't want to rely on pre-compiled binaries and prefer to compile the binaries by yourself, you can follow the official instructions. The gist of the instructions is provided below:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install git make cmake g++ libssl-dev zlib1g-dev wget
cd ~ && git clone https://github.com/newton-blockchain/ton.git
cd ~/ton && git submodule update --init
mkdir ~/ton/build && cd ~/ton/build && cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release && make -j 4

The core team provides automatic builds for several operating systems as GitHub Actions.

Click on the link above, choose the workflow on the left relevant to your operating system, click on a recent green passing build and under "Artifacts" download ton-binaries.
