It's is highly recommended to use virtual environment creating an isolated python environment for your project. The packages installed later will only affect this environment.
To create a virtual environment
mkdir ~/virtualenv
python3 -m venv ~/virtualenv/qc
As the virtual env is created with python3 once the env is activated all the python and pip commands will point to their python3 versions automatically.
To activate the virtual environment
source ~/virtualenv/qc/bin/activate
To install the required packages for the project. Under the same directory where setup.py is located.
pip install -e .
Running network
python simple_network.py
First install docker
Build docker image
docker build -t quarkchain .
Run network inside docker
docker run -it quarkchain /bin/bash
python3 -c "import quarkchain.simple_network; quarkchain.simple_network.main()"
Run network outside docker
docker run -t quarkchain python3 -c "import quarkchain.simple_network; quarkchain.simple_network.main()"
- install pydevp2p, pyquarkchain
python setup.py install; cd pydevp2p; python setup.py install; cd ..
- Run three or more pyquarkchain instance
python quarkchain/p2pnetwork.py --i_am_seed=true
python quarkchain/p2pnetwork.py --db_path=./db1 --enable_local_server=true --local_port=5858
python quarkchain/p2pnetwork.py --db_path=./db2
- Run miner
python quarkchain/miner.py --local_port=5858
