'''Tinc Install instructions for Linux:'''
'''$ sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/tinc/'''<br>
 
'''$ /usr/local/sbin/tinc '''
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 uncompress 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).
