Build

Harmony server / main node:

go build -o bin/harmony cmd/harmony.go

Beacon node:

go build -o bin/beacon cmd/beaconchain/main.go

Wallet:

go build -o bin/wallet cmd/client/wallet/main.go

Tx Generator:

go build -o bin/txgen cmd/client/txgen/main.go

You can also run the script ./scripts/go_executable_build.sh to build all the executables.

Some of our scripts require bash 4.x support, please install bash 4.x on MacOS X.

Usage

You may build the src/harmony.go locally and run local test.

Running local test

The deploy.sh script creates 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 one local beacon chain node, the blockchain nodes, and run a transactional generator program which generates and sends simulated transactions to the local blockchain.

./test/deploy.sh ./test/configs/local_config1.txt

Testing

Make sure you use the following command and make sure everything passed before submitting your code.

./test/test_before_submit.sh
