+# Building Golos
+
+## Compile-Time Options (cmake)
+
+### CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=[Release/Debug]
+
+Specifies whether to build with or without optimization and without or with
+the symbol table for debugging. Unless you are specifically debugging or
+running tests, it is recommended to build as release.
+
+### LOW_MEMORY_NODE=[OFF/ON]
+
+Builds steemd to be a consensus-only low memory node. Data and fields not
+needed for consensus are not stored in the object database.  This option is
+recommended for witnesses and seed-nodes.
+
+### CLEAR_VOTES=[ON/OFF]
+
+Clears old votes from memory that are no longer required for consensus.
+
+### BUILD_STEEM_TESTNET=[OFF/ON]
+
+Builds steem for use in a private testnet. Also required for building unit tests.
+
+## Building under Docker
+

+
+Golos requires Boost 1.57 or later. The Boost provided in the Ubuntu 14.04
+package manager (Boost 1.55) is too old. So building Golos on Ubuntu 14.04
+requires downloading and installing a more recent version of Boost.
+
+According to [this mailing list
+post](http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/1-58-1-bugfix-release-necessary-td4674686.html),
+Boost 1.58 is not compatible with gcc 4.8 (the default C++ compiler for
+Ubuntu 14.04) when compiling in C++11 mode (which Golos does). So we will
+use Boost 1.57; if you try to build with any other version, you will
+probably have a bad time.
+
+Here is how to build and install Boost 1.57 into your user's home directory
+(make sure you install all the packages above first):
+
+    BOOST_ROOT=$HOME/opt/boost_1_57_0
+    URL='http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.57.0/boost_1_57_0.tar.bz2/download'
+    wget -c "$URL" -O boost_1_57_0.tar.bz2
+    [ $( sha256sum boost_1_57_0.tar.bz2 | cut -d ' ' -f 1 ) == \
+        "910c8c022a33ccec7f088bd65d4f14b466588dda94ba2124e78b8c57db264967" ] \
+        || ( echo 'Corrupt download' ; exit 1 )
+    tar xjf boost_1_57_0.tar.bz2
+    cd boost_1_57_0
+    ./bootstrap.sh "--prefix=$BOOST_ROOT"
+    ./b2 install
+
+Then the instructions are the same as for steem:
+
+    git clone https://github.com/steemit/steem
+    cd steem
+    git submodule update --init --recursive
+    mkdir build && cd build
+    cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
+    make -j$(nproc) steemd
+    make -j$(nproc) cli_wallet
+
+## Building on macOS X
+
+Install Xcode and its command line tools by following the instructions here:
+https://guide.macports.org/#installing.xcode.  In OS X 10.11 (El Capitan)
+and newer, you will be prompted to install developer tools when running a
+developer command in the terminal.
+
+Accept the Xcode license if you have not already:
+
+    sudo xcodebuild -license accept
+
+Install Homebrew by following the instructions here: http://brew.sh/
+
+### Initialize Homebrew:
+
+   brew doctor
+   brew update
+   brew tap homebrew/versions
+
+### Install steem dependencies:
+
+    brew install \
+        autoconf \
+        automake \
+        cmake \
+        git \
+        homebrew/versions/boost160 \
+        libtool \
+        openssl \
+        python3
+
+Note: brew recently updated to boost 1.61.0, which is not yet supported by
+steem. Until then, this will allow you to install boost 1.60.0.
+
+*Optional.* To use TCMalloc in LevelDB:
+
+    brew install google-perftools
+
+### Clone the Repository
+
+    git clone https://github.com/steemit/steem.git
+    cd steem
+
+### Compile
+
+    export OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=$(brew --prefix)/Cellar/openssl/1.0.2h_1/
+    export BOOST_ROOT=$(brew --prefix)/Cellar/boost160/1.60.0/
+    git submodule update --init --recursive
+    mkdir build && cd build
+    cmake -DBOOST_ROOT="$BOOST_ROOT" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
+    make -j$(sysctl -n hw.logicalcpu)
+
+Also, some useful build targets for `make` are:
+
+    steemd
+    chain_test
+    cli_wallet
+
+e.g.:
+
+    make -j$(sysctl -n hw.logicalcpu) steemd
+
+This will only build `steemd`.
+
+## Building on Other Platforms
+
+- Windows build instructions do not yet exist.
+
+- The developers normally compile with gcc and clang. These compilers should
+  be well-supported.
+- Community members occasionally attempt to compile the code with mingw,
+  Intel and Microsoft compilers. These compilers may work, but the
+  developers do not use them. Pull requests fixing warnings / errors from
+  these compilers are accepted.
