Binary packages for OS-X or Windows can be installed directly from CRAN:
install.packages("sodium")
Installation from source on Linux or OSX requires libsodium
. On Ubuntu 14.04 or lower use libsodium-dev from Launchpad:
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:chris-lea/libsodiumsudo apt-get update -qsudo apt-get install -y libsodium-dev
More recent Debian or Ubuntu install libsodium-dev directly from Universe:
sudo apt-get install -y libsodium-dev
On Fedora we need libsodium-devel:
sudo yum install libsodium-devel
On CentOS / RHEL we install libsodium-devel via EPEL:
sudo yum install epel-releasesudo yum install libsodium-devel
