Developer Installation

Install

Install essentials:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y curl build-essential python git

Install PostgreSQL (min version: 9.5.2)

sudo apt-get install -y postgresql postgresql-contrib
sudo -u postgres createuser --createdb --password $USER
createdb persona_mainnet

Install Node.js (tested with version 6.9.2, but any recent LTS release should do):

sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
sudo npm install -g n
sudo n 6.9.2

Install grunt-cli (globally):

sudo npm install grunt-cli -g

Clone this repository

git clone https://github.com/PersonaIam/persona-mainnet.git
cd persona-mainnet

Install node modules:

npm install libpq secp256k1
npm install

Launch

To launch Persona on mainnet:

createdb persona_mainnet
npm run start:mainnet

To launch Persona on localnet:

createdb persona_localnet
npm run start:localnet

To test stuff on local net use the genesis address:

passphrase: blade early broken display angry wine diary alley panda left spy woman
address: LMs6hQAcRYmQk4vGHgE2PndcXWZxc2Du3w

NOTE: The port, address, genesis block and config-path can be overridden by providing the relevant command switch:

node app.js -p [port] -a [address] -c [config-path] -g [genesisBlock-path]

This allow you to run several different networks, or your own private chain

Launch your own private or public chain

Generate a genesisBlock.json + a default config.json containing all passphrases of genesis delegates

node tasks/createGenesisBlock.js

Be sure to configure this file for your needs

• a genesisBlock.json containing the genesis block
• a config.json containing configuration to start relay nodes
• an autoforging config.json containing configuration to start all delegates on a single node (for testing purpose)
• a bunch of config files to distribute to different configured delegate nodes starting the network.
• a delegatesPassphrases.json containing details about the genesis delegates
• a genesisPassphrase.json containing the details of delegates that will launch your network

Obviously you can hack away tasks/createGenesisBlock.js for your own custom use.

You can the start with your own chain on a single node (all delegates will forge on your single node) using:

createdb ark_newtest
npm run start:newtest

Then you can distribute the config.json (without the delegates secrets inside, and with custom peers settings) to peers to let them join your chain

Tests

Load git submodule ark-js:

git submodule init
git submodule update

You should run using test configurations

npm run start:test

Run the test suite:

npm test

Run individual tests:

npm test -- test/api/accounts.js
npm test -- test/api/transactions.js

NOTE: The master passphrase for this test genesis block is as follows:

peace vanish bleak box tuna woman rally manage undo royal lucky since
