Has anybody had any success installing and using imule with tails? I've started trying to install and use this but have ran into issues and was wondering if this is even something that others do? Also is there an easier or better alternative to this that anybody is aware of? Any direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks friends.

I tried it, just to see if I could get it to work. I succeeded. There's only a few things you'll need to do.

  1. get the i386 squeeze package of imule
  2. install its dependency libcrypto++8
  3. enable SAM bridge in I2P console
  4. bootstrap from a nodes.dat

That's how I got it up+running, FWIW.

Did you have any specific problems?

I probably should add a disclaimer to my post above.

Do this on your own risk. You know that Tails' philosophy is to NOT install additional software for the sake of system integrety and security.

If you think iMule is worth it (I for one don't), ask the Tails developers wether they'd consider integrating it.
