##First of all, if you have Ubuntu install snapcraft

$ sudo apt install snapcraft

##If you are not an Ubuntu user follow these instructions instead: http:https://snapcraft.io/docs/core/install

##clone the current project in a local directory and run:

$ snapcraft

##Snapcraft will download all the dependencies and it will bundle a package called iri_1.1.0_{arch}.snap ##Therefore install snapd:

$ sudo apt install snapd

#and run:

$ sudo snap install iri_1.1.0_amd64.snap --force-dangerous

##and it will result in a '$ iri 1.1.0 installed'

##then simply execute

$ iri ${PORT} ${NODES_LIST}

##for instance

$ iri 14265 udp:https://1.1.1.1:142 udp:https://1.1.1.2:142 ...

The whole building process should take around 2 minutes.

#Know issues:

java.security.InvalidAlgorithmParameterException: the trustAnchors parameter must be non-empty

$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall ca-certificates-java
