# Polkadot
|
|
|
|
Implementation of a https://polkadot.network node in Rust.
|
|
|
|
## To play
|
|
|
|
If you'd like to play with Polkadot, you'll need to install a client like this
|
|
one. First, get Rust (1.26.1 or later) and the support software if you don't already have it:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh
|
|
sudo apt install make clang
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then, install Polkadot PoC-2:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
cargo install --git https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot.git --branch v0.2 polkadot
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You'll now have a `polkadot` binary installed to your `PATH`. You can drop the
|
|
`--branch v0.2` or run `cargo install --git https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot.git polkadot`
|
|
to get the very latest version of Polkadot, but these instructions might not work in that case.
|
|
|
|
### Krumme Lanke Testnet
|
|
|
|
You will connect to the global Krumme Lanke testnet by default. To do this, just use:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
polkadot
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you want to do anything on it (not that there's much to do), then you'll need
|
|
to get some Krumme Lanke DOTs. Ask in the Polkadot watercooler.
|
|
|
|
### Development
|
|
|
|
You can run a simple single-node development "network" on your machine by
|
|
running in a terminal:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
polkadot --dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can muck around by cloning and building the http://github.com/paritytech/polka-ui and http://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-ui or just heading to https://polkadot.js.org/apps.
|
|
|
|
## Local Two-node Testnet
|
|
|
|
If you want to see the multi-node consensus algorithm in action locally, then
|
|
you can create a local testnet. You'll need two terminals open. In one, run:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
polkadot --chain=local --validator --key Alice -d /tmp/alice
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
and in the other, run:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
polkadot --chain=local --validator --key Bob -d /tmp/bob --port 30334 --bootnodes '/ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/30333/p2p/ALICE_BOOTNODE_ID_HERE'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Ensure you replace `ALICE_BOOTNODE_ID_HERE` with the node ID from the output of
|
|
the first terminal.
|
|
|
|
## Hacking on Polkadot
|
|
|
|
If you'd actually like hack on Polkadot, you can just grab the source code and
|
|
build it. Ensure you have Rust and the support software installed:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh
|
|
rustup update nightly
|
|
rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown --toolchain nightly
|
|
rustup update stable
|
|
cargo install --git https://github.com/alexcrichton/wasm-gc
|
|
sudo apt install cmake pkg-config libssl-dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then, grab the Polkadot source code:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
git clone https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot.git
|
|
cd polkadot
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then build the code:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
./build.sh # Builds the WebAssembly binaries
|
|
cargo build # Builds all native code
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can run the tests if you like:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
cargo test --all
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can start a development chain with:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
cargo run -- --dev
|
|
```
