### Build and install with recent mbedTLS and libsodium
### Build and install with recent libsodium
You have to install libsodium 1.0.8 or later before building.
If your system is too old to provide libmbedtls and libsodium (later than **v1.0.8**),
you will need to either install those libraries manually or upgrade your system.
If your system provides with those libraries, you **should** **not** install them
from source. You should jump this section and install them from distribution
repository instead.
```bash
export LIBSODIUM_VER=1.0.11
export MBEDTLS_VER=2.4.0
wget https://github.com/jedisct1/libsodium/releases/download/1.0.11/libsodium-$LIBSODIUM_VER.tar.gz
