README

go-nebulas

Official Go implementation of the Nebulas protocol. The current version is 2.0, also called Nebulas Nova.

For the roadmap of Nebulas, please visit the roadmap page.

For more information of Nebulas protocol, design documents, please refer to our wiki.

TestNet is released, please check here for more details.

Mainnet is released, please check here for more details.

Building from source

Prerequisites

Components	Version	Description
Golang	>= 1.11	The Go Programming Language
Dep	>= 0.3.1	Dep is a dependency management tool for Go.

Build

Checkout repo.

cd $GOPATH/src
go get -u -v github.com/nebulasio/go-nebulas

The project is under active development. New users may want to checkout and use the stable mainnet release in master.

cd github.com/nebulasio/go-nebulas
git checkout master

Or use the stable testnet release in testnet.

git checkout testnet

Install native libs.

Nebulas execution need NVM and NBRE two dependent libraries. We provide stable versions of both libraries. Execute the execution script to install

cd github.com/nebulasio/go-nebulas
source install-native-libs.sh

Note:

The dependency libraries are not installed in the system directory, and there are different path-loading methods used in Darwin and Linux systems.

• OS X:

  • In the user's root directory to create lib folder, system to load the library path can read this path, ensure that the root directory of the current folder does not exist. All of these operations in install-native-libs.sh already processing.(DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH is not possible unless System Integrity Protection (SIP) is disabled)

• Linux - Ubuntu

  • install-native-libs.sh export LD_LIBRARY_PATH for native libs.

  • Because the CPU instruction set may vary from machine to machine, the pre-compiled nbre may not be available. If the library you installed with the script is not available (it does not start after compilation), compile the nbre yourself:

    • delete invalid libraries
    • prepare nbre build environment(It may take a long time, compile cmake, llvm, rocksdb and etc.)
    • build nbre
    • re-source the native libs

    cd nbre
    rm -rf lib
    rm -rf lib_llvm
    ./prepare.sh
    ./build.sh
    cd ..
    source install-native-libs.sh
    

Install dependencies packages.

• all golang dependencies will be stored in ./vendor.
• run make dep to install dependencies.
• If you failed to run this, please download our vendor.tar.gz directly.

Build the neb binary.

* run `make build`

Run

Run seed node

Starting a Nebulas seed node is simple. After the build step above, run a command:

./neb [-c /path/to/config.conf]

tips: more details about configuration, please refer to template.conf

You will see log message output like:
