run by PurpleI2P community member [villain](https://twitter.com/el_villano_loco).

### Centos 7:

    curl -s https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/supervillain/i2pd/repo/epel-7/supervillain-i2pd-epel-7.repo -o /etc/yum.repos.d/i2pd-epel-7.repo

## ArchLinux

i2pd packages are available at AUR: [release version](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/i2pd/),
[nightly builds](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/i2pd-git/)

## Gentoo Linux

i2pd [has a working ebuild in the main gentoo repository](https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/net-vpn/i2pd). As of May 2018, the ebuild 
is still listed as "unstable", and thus will request an exception in your package.keywords if you are using gentoo under the "stable" branch.
To install i2pd, enter the command:
    
    emerge --ask net-vpn/i2pd

If you use gcc to compile packages and would like to enable cmake's hardening features, use the i2p-hardening flag (recommended).
If you intend to use the websocket server, enable the websocket flag.
