Build instructions

First of all, you need to install system dependencies.

Installing system dependencies

The crate uses these system libraries:

Below you can find instructions on how to obtain them for the different operating systems:

If you use homebrew you can simply install needed libraries with the command:

brew install libsodium leveldb openssl

For deb based systems like Debian or Ubuntu you need the following packages:

apt install build-essential libsodium-dev libleveldb-dev libssl-dev pkg-config

Other linux users may find the packages with similar names in their package managers.

Building and workability is not guaranteed yet.

The project uses a stable Rust version that can be installed by using the rustup utility.

curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh -s -- --default-toolchain stable

Nightly (2017-07-05) version is used for clippy. You can install it with the following command:

rustup toolchain install nightly-2017-07-05

And run Clippy checks this way:

cargo +nightly-2017-07-05 clippy

You can verify that you installed everything correctly by compiling the exonum crate and run tests suite with the command:

cargo test --manifest-path exonum/Cargo.toml

You may want to launch the extended tests suite which is named sandbox.

cargo test --manifest-path sandbox/Cargo.toml

After all this you can learn how to create your own blockchain solution.
