cd $HOME/goloop
virtualenv -p python3 venv
. venv/bin/activate

Build

Build executables

make

Output binaries are placed under bin/ directory.

Build python package

make pyexec

Output files are placed under build/pyee/dist/ directory.

Quick start

First step, you need to make a configuration for the node.

./bin/gochain --save_key_store wallet.json --save config.json

It generates a configuration file, config.json, along with a wallet keystore file, wallet.json. If you don't specify any password, it uses gochain as a default password for the keystore. You may apply more options while it generates. Please run ./bin/gochain --help for more information.

Now, you may start the server with it.

./bin/gochain --config config.json

You may send transactions with the wallet, wallet.json, for the initial balance of other wallets.

Note that this is a single node configuration. If you want to make a network with multiple nodes, you need to make your own genesis and node configurations.
