# [wireguard-tools](https://git.zx2c4.com/wireguard-tools/about/) — tools for configuring [WireGuard](https://www.wireguard.com/)
|
|
|
|
This supplies the main userspace tooling for using and configuring WireGuard
|
|
tunnels, including the
|
|
[`wg(8)`](https://git.zx2c4.com/wireguard-tools/about/src/man/wg.8) and
|
|
[`wg-quick(8)`](https://git.zx2c4.com/wireguard-tools/about/src/man/wg-quick.8)
|
|
utilities. This project supports Linux, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, macOS, Windows, and
|
|
Android.
|
|
|
|
**More information may be found at [WireGuard.com](https://www.wireguard.com/).**
|
|
|
|
## Building
|
|
|
|
$ cd src
|
|
$ make
|
|
|
|
On Linux, [`libmnl`](https://netfilter.org/projects/libmnl/index.html) is
|
|
required. On Windows, the [MinGW](http://www.mingw.org/) compiler is required.
|
|
On other platforms, only a sane libc is required.
|
|
|
|
## Installing
|
|
|
|
# make install
|
|
|
|
This command takes into account several environment variables:
|
|
|
|
* `PREFIX` default: `/usr`
|
|
* `DESTDIR` default:
|
|
* `BINDIR` default: `$(PREFIX)/bin`
|
|
* `LIBDIR` default: `$(PREFIX)/lib`
|
|
* `MANDIR` default: `$(PREFIX)/share/man`
|
|
* `BASHCOMPDIR` default: `$(PREFIX)/share/bash-completion/completions`
|
|
* `RUNSTATEDIR` default: `/var/run`
|
|
* `PKG_CONFIG` default: `pkg-config`
|
|
|
|
* `WITH_BASHCOMPLETION` default: [auto-detect]
|
|
* `WITH_WGQUICK` default: [auto-detect]
|
|
* `WITH_SYSTEMDUNITS` default: [auto-detect]
|
|
|
|
The first section is rather standard. The second section is not:
|
|
|
|
* `WITH_BASHCOMPLETION` decides whether or not bash completion files for the
|
|
tools are installed. This is just a nice thing for people who have bash.
|
|
If you don't have bash, or don't want this, set the environment variable
|
|
to `no`. If you'd like to force its use, even if bash-completion isn't
|
|
detected in `DESTDIR`, then set it to `yes`.
|
|
|
|
* `WITH_WGQUICK` decides whether or not the wg-quick(8) script is installed.
|
|
This is a very quick and dirty bash script for reading a few extra
|
|
variables from wg(8)-style configuration files, and automatically
|
|
configures the interface. If you don't have bash, you probably don't want
|
|
this at all. Likewise, if you already have a working network management
|
|
tool or configuration, you probably want to integrate wg(8) or the direct
|
|
WireGuard API into your network manager, rather than using wg-quick(8).
|
|
But for folks who like simple quick and dirty scripts, this is nice. If you'd
|
|
like to force its use, even if bash isn't detected in DESTDIR, then set it
|
|
to `yes`.
|
|
|
|
* `WITH_SYSTEMDUNITS` decides whether or not systemd units are installed for
|
|
wg-quick(8). If you don't use systemd, you certainly don't want this, and
|
|
should set it to `no`. If systemd isn't auto-detected, but you still would
|
|
like to install it, set this to `yes`.
|
|
|
|
If you're a simple `make && make install` kind of user, you can get away with
|
|
not setting these variables and relying on the auto-detection. However, if
|
|
you're writing a package for a distro, you'll want to explicitly set these,
|
|
depending on what you want.
|
|
|
|
## `contrib/`
|
|
|
|
The `contrib/` subdirectory contains various scripts and examples. Most of these
|
|
are not immediately useful for production use, but should provide inspiration for
|
|
creating fully-featured tools. See the `README` in each directory.
