Source Installation Alaya
This document is intended for users with the ability to compile source code on the Alaya blockchain.
- Alaya supports source code compilation and installation under Windows and Ubuntu.
Windows source code compilation
Windows compilation environment requirements :
- git:
2.19.1 and above
- Go language development kit:
go (1.13+)
- mingw:
mingw (V8.1.0)
- cmake:
3.0 +
You can install the above compilation environment yourself. Please make sure the above environment can run normally before compiling Alaya
source code.
You can also use
Chocolatey
to install the compilation environment (if you do not already havechocolatey
, you can follow the instructions on https://chocolatey.org to install), startPowerShell
as an administrator, and then execute the following command:Install git:
choco install git
Install golang:
choco install golang
Install mingw:
choco install mingw
Install cmake:
choco install cmake --installargs 'ADD_CMAKE_TO_PATH=System'
Most softwares installed using the
chocolatey
package manager have a default installation path, and some software may have various paths, depending on the publisher of the software. Installing these packages will modify the Path environment variable. The final installation path can be viewed in the PATH. Some machine environments may not find the installation path of these tools in the PATH, and you need to add it manually at this time. After installation, please make sure the installed Go version is 1.11 (or higher).
Note: The following commands need to be run in the
Git-bash
environment. In any directory, right-click and selectGit Bash Here
to bring up theGit Bash
running window.
- Get the source code
Get the source code and put it in the GOPATH path, where alaya
is the branch name, then switch to the actual branch:
mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/PlatONnetwork
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/PlatONnetwork
git clone -b alaya-develop https://github.com/PlatONnetwork/PlatON-Go.git --recursive
- Add bls dependent library to environment variables
echo 'export PATH=$PATH:"$GOPATH/src/github.com/PlatONnetwork/PlatON-Go/crypto/bls/bls_win/lib"' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
- Compile
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/PlatONnetwork/PlatON-Go
go run build/ci.go install ./cmd/platon
go run build/ci.go install ./cmd/alayakey
After compiling, platon
,alayakey
executable files will be generated in thePlatON-Go/build/bin
directory. Copy these executable files to your working directory and run.
Repeated compilation will overwrite the previously generated executable file.
Ubuntu source code compilation
step1. Ubuntu compilation environment requirements:
- System version:
Ubuntu 18.04.1 and above
- git:
2.19.1 and above
- Compilers:
gcc (4.9.2+)
,g ++ (5.0+)
- Go language development kit:
go (1.13+)
- cmake:
3.0 +
step2. Get the Alaya source:
git clone -b alaya-develop https://github.com/PlatONnetwork/PlatON-Go.git --recursive
step3. Install dependency library:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y golang-go cmake llvm g++ libgmp-dev libssl-dev
step4. compilation:
cd PlatON-Go
make all
After compiling, a series of executable files such as platon, alayakey
and so on will be generated in the ./build/bin
directory.
step5. Copy binary:
sudo cp -f ./build/bin/platon /usr/bin/
sudo cp -f ./build/bin/alayakey /usr/bin/
To this step, congratulations, the source code compilation completed!
