Simple cryptography mini-libraries for C++ and Python. Just work.

How to use

1. Install make (watch your distro package)
2. Install botan2 as in wiki / in git / install from your distro.
3. Run examples with make:

• C++ all: make
• C++ build: make build
• C++ run: make run
• Python: make run_python

If you have trouble (with install botan) and you on Debian

1. Install botan2 from repo:

• Download botan2 from repo https://github.com/randombit/botan
• Join inside folder
• python configure.py --prefix=/usr/local
• make -j4 (-j4 is 4 threads)
• make install (with root)

2. Install packages from repo: apt install botan libbotan-2-dev python3-botan

If you have trouble with finding libs

You SHOULD set BOTAN_PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH by YOURSELF if you have trouble (mlocate will help you: updatedb, locate botan-2 and etc)
