# Play with the blockchain
## Running the harmony blockchain with docker
The easiest way to run our blockchain locally is to use docker.
If you are on `OS X`, then install docker via `brew`.
```
$ brew cask install docker
$ open /Applications/Docker.app
```
then you can run
```
$ docker run -it harmonyone/main:stable /bin/bash
```
You'll be in this current repository when the shell opens up, now let's catch up on any missing
commits (all the following commands assume you are in the running docker container)
### Bleeding edge master
```
$ git fetch
$ git reset --hard origin/master
```
### Mainnet release intended branch
```
$ git fetch
$ git checkout s3
$ git reset --hard origin/s3
```
And now run the local blockchain
```
$ test/debug.sh
```
## Using our hmy command line tool
Assuming that you got `test/debug.sh` running in your docker container, we can interact with
the running blockchain using our `hmy` command line tool. Its part of our
[go-sdk](https://github.com/harmony-one/go-sdk) repo, but our docker container already has it as
well and built.
Find your running container's ID, here's an example
```
$ docker container ls
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
62572a199bac harmonyone/main:stable "/bin/bash" 2 minutes ago Up 2 minutes awesome_cohen
```
now lets get our second shell in the running container:
```
$ docker exec -it 62572a199bac /bin/bash
```
The container already comes with a prebuilt `hmy` that you can invoke anywhere, but lets go ahead
and build the latest version.
```
$ cd ../go-sdk
$ git fetch
$ git reset --hard origin/master
$ make
$ ./hmy version
Harmony (C) 2020. hmy, version v211-698b282 (@harmony.one 2020-01-17T00:58:51+0000)
```
Then checkout `./hmy cookbook` for example usages. The majority of commands output legal `JSON`,
here is one example:
```
root@62572a199bac:~/go/src/github.com/harmony-one/go-sdk# ./hmy blockchain latest-header

"unixtime": 1561734000,

}
}
```
## Developing in the container
The docker container is a full harmony development environment and comes with emacs, vim, ag, tig
and other creature comforts. Most importantly, it already has the go environment with our C/C++
based library dependencies (`libbls` and `mcl`) setup correctly for you. You can also change go
versions easily, an example:
```
$ eval $(gimme 1.12.6)
```
Note that changing the go version might mean that dependencies won't work out right when trying to
run `test/debug.sh` again, get the correct environment again easily by `exec bash`.
## Installation Requirements for directly on your machine
GMP and OpenSSL
```bash
brew install gmp
brew install openssl
```
## Dev Environment Setup
The required go version is: **go1.12**
```bash
export GOPATH=$HOME/
mkdir -p $HOME//src/github.com/harmony-one
cd $HOME//src/github.com/harmony-one
git clone git@github.com:harmony-one/mcl.git
git clone git@github.com:harmony-one/bls.git
git clone git@github.com:harmony-one/harmony.git
cd harmony
make
```
Note: make sure to run `scripts/install_build_tools.sh`to make sure build tools are of correct versions.
## Build
If you want to bypass the Makefile:
```bash
export CGO_CFLAGS="-I$GOPATH/src/github.com/harmony-one/bls/include -I$GOPATH/src/github.com/harmony-one/mcl/include -I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include"
export CGO_LDFLAGS="-L$GOPATH/src/github.com/harmony-one/bls/lib -L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$GOPATH/src/github.com/harmony-one/bls/lib:$GOPATH/src/github.com/harmony-one/mcl/lib:/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib
export LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export GO111MODULE=on
```
Note : Some of our scripts require bash 4.x support, please [install bash 4.x](http://tldrdevnotes.com/bash-upgrade-3-4-macos) on MacOS X.
### Build all executables
You can run the script `./scripts/go_executable_build.sh` to build all the executables.
### Build individual executables
Harmony server / main node:
```bash
./scripts/go_executable_build.sh harmony
```
Wallet:
```bash
./scripts/go_executable_build.sh wallet
```
Tx Generator:
```bash
./scripts/go_executable_build.sh txgen
```
## Usage
You may build the src/harmony.go locally and run local test.
### Running local test
The debug.sh script calls test/deploy.sh script to create a local environment of Harmony blockchain devnet based on the configuration file.
The configuration file configures number of nodes and their IP/Port.
The script starts 2 shards and 7 nodes in each shard.
```bash
./test/debug.sh
```
### Test local blockchain
```bash
source scripts/setup_bls_build_flags.sh
./bin/wallet list
./bin/wallet -p local balances
```
### Terminate the local blockchain
```bash
./test/kill_nodes.sh
```
## Testing
Make sure you use the following command and make sure everything passed before submitting your code.
```bash
./test/test_before_submit.sh
```
