Installing
To install Dexios, there are two main options.
Firstly, you can install via cargo with cargo install dexios, or you may download the binary from the release page (make sure you mark it as executable, otherwise it won't run!).
To use cargo for installing, ensure you have gcc installed on your system.
For better performance, you may install via cargo with the command RUSTFLAGS="-Ctarget-cpu=native -Ctarget-feature=+aes,+sse2,+sse4.1,+ssse3" cargo install dexios.
Building Notes
As mentioned in the AES-GCM crate docs, please enable certain flags while building. For example:
RUSTFLAGS="-Ctarget-cpu=native -Ctarget-feature=+aes,+sse2,+sse4.1,+ssse3"
Change native to whichever CPU family/model you are going to be running the code on, if it's going to be ran on a different machine.
gcc is required for building.
Downloading and running a pre-compiled binary
The Github Releases page contains pre-compiled binaries, generated with Github Actions. These are ideal if you don't want to go through the hassle of building, and they should run on any system (provided the architecture matches). They are the exact same binaries from Github Actions, so we can ensure they haven't been tampered with.
We encourage users to check the hash provided in the GA Workflow, and compare with the file you have downloaded.
