Proxy Configuration
Internet access is required for a number of things when installing and running Salvus. Many corporate networks demand the use of a proxy server.
Summary
All the tools and programs are able to use standard proxy environment variables. Setting the
https_proxyvariable to
https://username:[email protected]:8080should work for everything.

curl. - Mondaic Downloader: Same environment variables as
curl.
Test the settings
An easy way to test the settings is to run for example:
https_proxy=https://username:[email protected]:8080 curl https://example.comThis command will set the https_proxy only for this execution and use curl to download an HTTPS website. If this does not error the environment variable setting should be correct.
Setting Environment Variables
You can always check if an environment variable is set by
echo $variable_nameTemporarily Setting It
export variable_name=variable_value
