Getting Started

To get started with the Elysium Marketplace, follow these steps:

1. Set up the Client

Begin by configuring the client-side application. These steps will install necessary packages and start the React development server, setting up the environment for the Elysium Marketplace user interface.

Navigate to the client directory and install the dependencies:

   cd client
   npm install

Start the React development server:

   npm start

2. Set up the Server

The server-side configuration is crucial for handling backend operations of the Elysium Marketplace. Follow these instructions to install Python dependencies and start the Flask server, ensuring the platform's backend is running smoothly.

Navigate to the server directory and install the Python dependencies:

   cd server
   pip install -r requirements.txt

Start the Flask development server:

   flask run

3. Initialize the Blockchain

The blockchain is the backbone of the marketplace, storing and validating digital asset transactions. These scripts deploy the necessary smart contracts and populate the marketplace with initial assets, laying the foundational infrastructure for the platform.

Run the deployment script to deploy smart contracts:

   node scripts/deploy_contracts.js

Initialize the marketplace with initial assets:

   node scripts/initialize_marketplace.js
