<li><a href="download">Download</a> the precompiled installer (or the source and

build the installer with <a href="http://ant.apache.org/">ant build</a>)</li>
|

<li>Run the installer via <code>java -jar install.jar</code></li>

<li>Answer the prompts: <ol>
|
|
<li>Specify an I2P installation directory (e.g. C:\i2p\ or ~/i2p)</li>
|
|
<li>Provide your <i>publicly reachable</i> hostname or IP address - if you have
|
|
a NAT or firewall, be sure to use the external address forward the I2P
|
|
network port (default 8887) to your machine so that you can be contacted</li>

<li>When asked whether you want to reseed, if you say yes it will download a
|
|
set of references to existing routers from
|
|
<a href="http://dev.i2p.net/i2pdb/">http://dev.i2p.net/i2pdb/</a>. If you
|

say no, you <b>must</b> get references from someone else running I2P.</li>

<li><a href="download">Download</a> the precompiled <a href="jbigi">jbigi</a>
|
|
library for your OS and CPU to significantly improve the speed and overhead
|
|
of running I2P. Save this jbigi.dll or libjbigi.so into your I2P
|
|
installation directory.</li>
|
|
<li>Start up the router with the <code>startRouter</code> script located in your
|
|
I2P installation directory</li>
|
|
<li>After two minutes or so, there should be an HTTP proxy listening on port 4444
|
|
and an IRC proxy listening on port 6668. You can set your web browser's
|
|
proxy to localhost:4444 and browse to any eepsite or normal website through
|
|
it (if you go to <a href="http://whatismyip.com/">http://whatismyip.com/</a>
|
|
it will come back with the IP address of the outproxy - 69.55.226.145). You
|
|
can also fire up your IRC client (e.g. <a href="http://irssi.org/">irssi</a>
|
|
or <a href="http://www.mirc.com/">mIRC</a>) and tell it to use the IRC server
|
|
at localhost:6668 (which will connect you to irc.duck.i2p).</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you are unable to reach those ports on your machine or cannot reach any
|
|
sites or get on IRC, please check your <a href="http://localhost:7655/">router console</a>
|
|
and make sure that there are <a href="http://localhost:7655/#transports">TCP connections</a>
|
|
listed (instead of a big red warning). Typical problems include having the wrong port
|
|
forwarded, entering the wrong hostname/IP address during install, or not being able
|
|
to use NTP to get the right time (which requires UDP port 123).</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If those are not the problem and you are still unable to get any TCP connections,
|
|
or if there are problems using the network, please jump on IRC at
|
|
<a href="irc://irc.freenode.net/#i2p">irc.freenode.net/#i2p</a> and we'll see what
|
|
we can do.</p> |
