The Pico project is liberating humanity from passwords. See https://www.mypico.org.
Libpico provides a library for performing Pico pairing and authentication. It has code for both the client and server sides of the Pico protocol.
For more details on the libpico API and how to build the entire Pico stack, see the developer docs.
https://docs.mypico.org/developer/
If you want to build all the Pico components from source in one go, without having to worry about the details, see:
https://github.com/mypico/pico-build-all
If you're using Ubunutu 16.04 you can install directly from the Pico repository. Just add the repository:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 22991E96
sudo add-apt-repository "deb https://get.mypico.org/apt/ xenial main"
sudo apt update
then install libpico and the libpico development files:
sudo apt install libpico1
sudo apt install libpico1-dev
You'll need to ensure you've installed the build dependencies before you attempt to compile and install libpico. This includes building and installing libpicobt from the Pico repositories. See the libpicobt repository for instructions for this.
If you're using Ubuntu 16.04, you can install the remaining build dependencies using apt.
sudo apt install \
libssl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libqrencode-dev libbluetooth-dev liburl-dispatcher1-dev libc6 \
autoconf pkg-config autotools-dev devscripts debhelper dh-systemd dh-exec build-essential \
git gcc make check openssh-client doxygen graphviz
Assuming you've got all these, download the latest version from the git repository and move inside the project folder.
git clone [email protected]:mypico/libpico.git
cd libpico
You can now build using autoconf with the following commands:
./configure
make
After this, the cleanest way to install it is to build the deb or rpm packages and install these:
debuild -us -uc -b --lintian-opts -X changes-file
sudo dpkg -i ../libpico1_0.0.2-1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i ../libpico1-dev_0.0.2-1_amd64.deb
For info about how to use libpico in your own programmes, see the developer documentation.
