Getting Started

Requirements

blinksocks is built on top of Node.js, if you want to use it in an ordinary way or do some hacking, please install Node.js(v6.x and above) on your operating system.

Install or Upgrade

You can get the latest blinksocks via package manager yarn or npm.

NOTE: Node.js comes with npm installed so you don't have to install npm individually.

latest stable version

$ npm install -g blinksocks

developing version

$ npm install -g git+https://github.com/blinksocks/blinksocks.git
$ npm install -g git+https://github.com/blinksocks/blinksocks.git#v2.5.5

Without yarn or npm?

If you hate to install and want to get a even more portable version, we have all in one script:

$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/blinksocks/blinksocks/master/build/blinksocks.js

previous build(with tag in url, stable)

Run blinksocks

npm version(require Node.js)
