-We will be using apt to install development tools and dependencies before we download the source code of tinc.
-First we will download essential packages to compile tinc as a sudo user.
-sudo apt install build-essential automake libssl-dev liblzo2-dev libbz2-dev zlib1g-dev libncurses5-dev libreadline-dev
-Navigate into a tmp folder.
-cd /tmp
-Download tinc 1.1 with wget and uncompres the downloaded item to a folder with tar.
-wget https://www.tinc-vpn.org/packages/tinc-1.1pre17.tar.gz
-tar xvf tinc-1.1pre17.tar.gz
-Navigate into the folder and run the configure file to set tinc up.
-cd tinc-1.1pre17
-./configure
-Install tinc!
-make
-sudo make install
-Once installed, create a configuration directory. All configurations of tinc will happen in this folder. Using tinc subcommands (like invite / join), result in changes to the files in this folder.
-sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/tinc/
-The tinc executable is installed in
-/usr/local/sbin/tinc
-This means that you can only run tinc as sudo, since sbin directory saves binary executables that can be ran only by sudo (s+bin)
-More can be found here: https://git.systerserver.net/queer/networks
