Installation

To install it, you'll first need Go installed on your machine. Then you can use standard Go command: go install github.com/chronicleprotocol/oracle-suite/cmd/spectre@latest

Alternatively, you can build Spectre using Makefile directly from the repository. This approach is recommended if you wish to work on Spectre source.

git clone https://github.com/chronicleprotocol/oracle-suite.git
cd oracle-suite
make

Configuration

To start working with Spectre, you have to create configuration file first. By default, the default config file location is config.hcl in the current working directory. You can change the config file location using the --config flag. Spectre supports HCL configuration format.

Configuration reference

This configuration is only a reference and not ready for use. The recommended configuration can be found in the config.hcl file located in the root directory.

# It supports glob patterns.
