Enable Tor
Create a file called use_tor.txt inside the app's data folder.
| Platform | Path | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Linux | ~/.local/share/darkfi/app/ |
/home/alice/.local/share/darkfi/app/ |
| Android | /sdcard/Android/data/darkfi.darkfi_app/files/ |
/sdcard/Android/data/darkfi.darkfi_app/files/ |
| Mac | ~/Library/Application Support/darkfi/app/ |
/Users/Alice/Library/Application Support/darkfi/app/ |
| Windows | {FOLDERID_RoamingAppData}/darkfi/app/ |
C:\Users\Alice\AppData\Roaming\darkfi\app\ |
For example on Linux:
touch /home/alice/.local/share/darkfi/app/use_tor.txt
Then when you start the app, you should see:
10:30:47 [INFO] Setup P2P network [tor]
For more features consult the 0.1 alpha release notes.
Troubleshooting
Windows "VCRUNTIME140.dll was not found"
If you get the error "VCRUNTIME140.dll was not found", then install Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable.
MacOS "darkfi cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified"
This is because the release is currently not signed. We are in the process of applying to Apple for a developer certificate but it's long and bureaucratic. The next release will be signed. It's easy to bypass it now.
Drag DarkFi to your Applications folder and try to launch it. Cancel the dialog that pops up.
Next, open System Settings -> Privacy & Security, scroll down to where it says "darkfi was blocked from use ...", and click Open Anyway. The next time you will be able to run the app with no issues.
