mkdir -p $HOME/<path_of_your_choice>/src/github.com/harmony-one

cd $HOME/<path_of_your_choice>/src/github.com/harmony-one

git clone git@github.com:harmony-one/mcl.git

cd mcl && make -j4 && cd ..

git clone git@github.com:harmony-one/bls.git

cd bls && make -j4 && cd ..

git clone git@github.com:harmony-one/harmony.git

cd harmony

export GO111MODULE=on

./scripts/go_executable_build.sh

Build

Note : Some of our scripts require bash 4.x support, please install bash 4.x on MacOS X. Make sure you set export GO111MODULE=on.

Build all executables

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

Build individual executables

Initialize BLS

source scripts/setup_bls_build_flags.sh

Harmony server / main node:

go build -o bin/harmony cmd/harmony/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

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/beaconchain40.txt

Testing

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

./test/test_before_submit.sh
