Lisk is a next generation crypto-currency and decentralized application platform, written entirely in JavaScript. For more information please refer to our website: https://lisk.io/.
NOTE: The following information is applicable to: Ubuntu 14.04 (LTS) - x86_64.
-
Tool chain components -- Used for compiling dependencies
sudo apt-get install -y python build-essential curl automake autoconf libtool -
Git (https://github.com/git/git) -- Used for cloning and updating Lisk
sudo apt-get install -y git -
Nodejs v6.9.4 (https://nodejs.org/) -- Nodejs serves as the underlying engine for code execution.
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.0/install.sh | bash nvm install v6.9.4 -
Install PostgreSQL (version 9.6.1):
curl -sL "https://downloads.lisk.io/scripts/setup_postgresql.Linux" | bash - sudo -u postgres createuser --createdb $USER createdb lisk_test createdb lisk_main sudo -u postgres psql -d lisk_test -c "alter user "$USER" with password 'password';" sudo -u postgres psql -d lisk_main -c "alter user "$USER" with password 'password';" -
Bower (http://bower.io/) -- Bower helps to install required JavaScript dependencies.
npm install -g bower -
Grunt.js (http://gruntjs.com/) -- Grunt is used to compile the frontend code and serves other functions.
npm install -g grunt -
Forever (https://github.com/foreverjs/forever) -- Forever manages the node process for Lisk (Optional)
npm install -g forever
Clone the Lisk repository using Git and initialize the modules.
git clone https://github.com/LiskHQ/lisk.git
cd lisk
npm install
Install Lisk Node, a specialized version of Node.js used to execute dapps within a virtual machine:
wget https://downloads.lisk.io/lisk-node/lisk-node-Linux-x86_64.tar.gz
tar -zxvf lisk-node-Linux-x86_64.tar.gz
Lisk Node has to be in [LISK_DIR]/nodejs/node.
Load git submodules (lisk-ui and lisk-js):
git submodule init
git submodule update
Build the user-interface:
cd public
npm install
bower install
grunt release
To test that Lisk is built and configured correctly, run the following command:
node app.js
In a browser navigate to: http://localhost:7000. If Lisk is running on a remote system, switch localhost for the external IP Address of the machine.
Once the process is verified as running correctly, CTRL+C and start the process with forever. This will fork the process into the background and automatically recover the process if it fails.
forever start app.js
After the process is started its runtime status and log location can be found by issuing this statement:
forever list
To stop Lisk after it has been started with forever, issue the following command:
forever stop app.js
NOTE: The port, address and config-path can be overridden by providing the relevant command switch:
forever start app.js -p [port] -a [address] -c [config-path]
Before running any tests, please ensure Lisk is configured to run on the same testnet that is used by the test-suite.
Replace config.json and genesisBlock.json with the corresponding files under the test directory:
cp test/config.json test/genesisBlock.json .
NOTE: If the node was started with a different genesis block previous, trauncate the database before running tests.
dropdb lisk_test
createdb lisk_test
NOTE: The master passphrase for this genesis block is as follows:
wagon stock borrow episode laundry kitten salute link globe zero feed marble
Launch Lisk (runs on port 4000):
node app.js
Run the test suite:
npm test
Run individual tests:
npm test -- test/lib/accounts.js
npm test -- test/lib/transactions.js
