This document covers common scenarios of launching zkSync applications set locally.
Prepare dev environment prerequisites: see
Setup:
zk # installs and builds zk itself
zk init
During the first initialization you have to download around 8 GB of setup files, this should be done once. If you have a
problem on this step of the initialization, see help for the zk run plonk-setup
command.
If you face any other problems with the zk init
command, go to the Troubleshooting section at the
end of this file. There are solutions for some common error cases.
To completely reset the dev environment:
-
Stop services:
zk down
-
Repeat the setup procedure above
If zk init
has already been executed, and now you only need to start docker containers (e.g. after reboot),
simplylaunch:
zk up
zk contract redeploy
Env config files are held in etc/env/
List configurations:
zk env
Switch between configurations:
zk env <ENV_NAME>
Default confiruration is dev.env
, which is generated automatically
from dev.env.example
during zk init
commandexecution.
Run server:
zk server
Server is configured using env files in ./etc/env
directory. After the first initialization,
file ./etc/env/dev.env
will be created. By default, this file is copied from the ./etc/env/dev.env.example
template.
Server can produce block of different sizes, the list of available sizes is determined by
theSUPPORTED_BLOCK_CHUNKS_SIZES
environment variable. Block sizes which will actually be produced by the server can be
configured using the BLOCK_CHUNK_SIZES
environment variable.
Note: for proof generation for large blocks requires a lot of resources and an average user machine is only capable
ofcreating proofs for the smallest block sizes. As an alternative, a dummy-prover may be used for development
(see[development.md](https://hackmd.io/S7hTv1EwSpWu8VCReDmsBg)
for details).
Run prover:
zk prover
Make sure you have environment variables set right, you can check it by running: zk env
. You should
see * dev
inoutput.
Problem. zk init
fails with the following error:
Initializing download: https://universal-setup.ams3.digitaloceanspaces.com/setup_2%5E20.key
SSL error: certificate verify failed
Solution. Make sure that the version of axel
on your computer is 2.17.10
.
Problem. zk init
fails with the following error:
