EOS.IO - The Most Powerful Infrastructure for Decentralized Applications

Welcome to the EOS.IO source code repository! EOS.IO software enables developers to create and deploy high-performance, horizontally scalable, blockchain infrastructure upon which decentralized applications can be built.

This code is currently alpha-quality and under rapid development. That said, there is plenty early experimenters can do including, running a private multi-node test network and develop applications (smart contracts).

Getting Started

The following instructions overview the process of getting the software, building it, running a simple test network that produces blocks, creating an account, and uploading a sample contract to the blockchain.

Setting up a build/development environment

Automated build script

For Ubuntu 16.10 and MacOS Sierra, there is an automated build script that can install all dependencies and build EOS.

It is called build.sh with the following inputs:

architecture [ubuntu|darwin]
optional mode [full|build]

The second optional input can be full or build where full implies that it installs dependencies and builds EOS. If you omit this input, then the build script will install dependencies and then builds EOS.

./build.sh <architecture> <optional mode>

Clone EOS repository recursively as below and run build.sh located in root eos folder.

Clean install Ubuntu 16.10

git clone https://github.com/eosio/eos --recursive

cd eos
./build.sh ubuntu

Now you can proceed to the next step - Creating and launching a single-node testnet

MacOS Sierra

Before running the script, make sure you have updated XCode and Homebrew:

xcode-select --install
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

git clone https://github.com/eosio/eos --recursive

cd eos
./build.sh darwin

Now you can proceed to the next step - Creating and launching a single-node testnet

Building EOS and running a node

Getting the code

To download all of the code, download EOS source code and a recursion or two of submodules. The easiest way to get all of this is to do a recursive clone:

git clone https://github.com/eosio/eos --recursive

If a repo is cloned without the --recursive flag, the submodules can be retrieved after the fact by running this command from within the repo:

git submodule update --init --recursive

Building from source code

The WASM_LLVM_CONFIG environment variable is used to find our recently built WASM compiler. This is needed to compile the example contracts inside eos/contracts folder and their respective tests.

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/eosio/eos --recursive
mkdir -p ~/eos/build && cd ~/eos/build
cmake -DBINARYEN_BIN=~/binaryen/bin -DOPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=/usr/local/opt/openssl -DOPENSSL_LIBRARIES=/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib ..
make -j4

Out-of-source builds are also supported. To override clang's default choice in compiler, add these flags to the CMake command:

-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/path/to/c++ -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=/path/to/cc

For a debug build, add -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug. Other common build types include Release and RelWithDebInfo.

To run the test suite after building, run the chain_test executable in the tests folder.

EOS comes with a number of programs you can find in ~/eos/build/programs. They are listed below:

eosd - server-side blockchain node component
eosc - command line interface to interact with the blockchain
eos-walletd - EOS wallet
launcher - application for nodes network composing and deployment; more on launcher

Creating and launching a single-node testnet

After successfully building the project, the eosd binary should be present in the build/programs/eosd directory. Go ahead and run eosd -- it will probably exit with an error, but if not, close it immediately with Ctrl-C. Note that eosd created a directory named data-dir containing the default configuration (config.ini) and some other internals. This default data storage path can be overridden by passing --data-dir /path/to/data to eosd.

Edit the config.ini file, adding/updating the following settings to the defaults already in place:

# Load the testnet genesis state, which creates some initial block producers with the default key
genesis-json = /path/to/eos/source/genesis.json
 # Enable production on a stale chain, since a single-node test chain is pretty much always stale
enable-stale-production = true
# Enable block production with the testnet producers
producer-name = inita
producer-name = initb
producer-name = initc
producer-name = initd
producer-name = inite
producer-name = initf
producer-name = initg
producer-name = inith
producer-name = initi
producer-name = initj
producer-name = initk
producer-name = initl
producer-name = initm
producer-name = initn
producer-name = inito
producer-name = initp
producer-name = initq
producer-name = initr
producer-name = inits
producer-name = initt
producer-name = initu
# Load the block producer plugin, so you can produce blocks
plugin = eosio::producer_plugin
# Wallet plugin
plugin = eosio::wallet_api_plugin
# As well as API and HTTP plugins
plugin = eosio::chain_api_plugin
plugin = eosio::http_plugin

Now it should be possible to run eosd and see it begin producing blocks.

When running eosd you should get log messages similar to below. It means the blocks are successfully produced.

1575001ms thread-0   chain_controller.cpp:235      _push_block          ] initm #1 @2017-09-04T04:26:15  | 0 trx, 0 pending, exectime_ms=0

Example "Currency" Contract Walkthrough

EOS comes with example contracts that can be uploaded and run for testing purposes. Next we demonstrate how to upload and interact with the sample contract "currency".

Example smart contracts

First, run the node

cd ~/eos/build/programs/eosd/
./eosd

Setting up a wallet and importing account key

As you've previously added plugin = eosio::wallet_api_plugin into config.ini, EOS wallet will be running as a part of eosd process. Every contract requires an associated account, so first, create a wallet.

cd ~/eos/build/programs/eosc/
./eosc wallet create # Outputs a password that you need to save to be able to lock/unlock the wallet

For the purpose of this walkthrough, import the private key of the inita account, a test account included within genesis.json, so that you're able to issue API commands under authority of an existing account. The private key referenced below is found within your config.ini and is provided to you for testing purposes.

./eosc wallet import 5KQwrPbwdL6PhXujxW37FSSQZ1JiwsST4cqQzDeyXtP79zkvFD3

Creating accounts for sample "currency" contract

First, generate some public/private key pairs that will be later assigned as owner_key and active_key.

cd ~/eos/build/programs/eosc/
./eosc create key # owner_key
./eosc create key # active_key

This will output two pairs of public and private keys

Private key: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Public key: EOSXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Important: Save the values for future reference.

Run the create command where inita is the account authorizing the creation of the currency account and PUBLIC_KEY_1 and PUBLIC_KEY_2 are the values generated by the create key command

./eosc create account inita currency PUBLIC_KEY_1 PUBLIC_KEY_2

You should then get a JSON response back with a transaction ID confirming it was executed successfully.

Go ahead and check that the account was successfully created

./eosc get account currency

If all went well, you will receive output similar to the following:

{
  "account_name": "currency",
  "eos_balance": "0.0000 EOS",
  "staked_balance": "0.0001 EOS",
  "unstaking_balance": "0.0000 EOS",
  "last_unstaking_time": "1969-12-31T23:59:59",
  "permissions": [{
    ...
    }
  ]
}

Now import the active private key generated previously in the wallet:

./eosc wallet import XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Upload sample "currency" contract to blockchain

Before uploading a contract, verify that there is no current contract:

./eosc get code currency
code hash: 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

With an account for a contract created, upload a sample contract:

./eosc set contract currency ../../contracts/currency/currency.wast ../../contracts/currency/currency.abi

As a response you should get a JSON with a transaction_id field. Your contract was successfully uploaded!

You can also verify that the code has been set with the following command:

./eosc get code currency

It will return something like:

code hash: 9b9db1a7940503a88535517049e64467a6e8f4e9e03af15e9968ec89dd794975

Next verify the currency contract has the proper initial balance:

./eosc get table currency currency account
{
  "rows": [{
     "key": "account",
     "balance": 1000000000
     }
  ],
  "more": false
}

Transfering funds with the sample "currency" contract

Anyone can send any message to any contract at any time, but the contracts may reject messages which are not given necessary permission. Messages are not sent "from" anyone, they are sent "with permission of" one or more accounts and permission levels. The following commands show a "transfer" message being sent to the "currency" contract.

The content of the message is '{"from":"currency","to":"inita","quantity":50}'. In this case we are asking the currency contract to transfer funds from itself to someone else. This requires the permission of the currency contract.

./eosc push message currency transfer '{"from":"currency","to":"inita","quantity":50}' --scope currency,inita --permission currency@active

Below is a generalization that shows the currency account is only referenced once, to specify which contract to deliver the transfer message to.

./eosc push message currency transfer '{"from":"${usera}","to":"${userb}","quantity":50}' --scope ${usera},${userb} --permission ${usera}@active

We specify the --scope ... argument to give the currency contract read/write permission to those users so it can modify their balances. In a future release scope will be determined automatically.

As confirmation of a successfully submitted transaction, you will receive JSON output that includes a transaction_id field.

Reading sample "currency" contract balance

So now check the state of both of the accounts involved in the previous transaction.

./eosc get table inita currency account
{
  "rows": [{
      "key": "account",
      "balance": 50
       }
    ],
  "more": false
}
./eosc get table currency currency account
{
  "rows": [{
      "key": "account",
      "balance": 999999950
    }
  ],
  "more": false
}

As expected, the receiving account inita now has a balance of 50 tokens, and the sending account now has 50 less tokens than its initial supply.

Running multi-node local testnet

To run a local testnet you can use a launcher application provided in the ~/eos/build/programs/launcher folder.

For testing purposes you will run two local production nodes talking to each other.

cd ~/eos/build
cp ../genesis.json ./
./programs/launcher/launcher -p2 --skip-signature

This command will generate two data folders for each instance of the node: tn_data_0 and tn_data_1.

You should see the following response:

spawning child, programs/eosd/eosd --skip-transaction-signatures --data-dir tn_data_0
spawning child, programs/eosd/eosd --skip-transaction-signatures --data-dir tn_data_1

To confirm the nodes are running, run the following eosc commands:

~/eos/build/programs/eosc
./eosc -p 8888 get info
./eosc -p 8889 get info

For each command, you should get a JSON response with blockchain information.

You can read more on launcher and its settings here

Running a local node connected to the public testnet

To run a local node connected to the public testnet operated by block.one, a script is provided.

cd ~/eos/build/scripts
./start_npnode.sh

This command will use the data folder provided for the instance called testnet_np.

You should see the following response:

Launched eosd.
See testnet_np/stderr.txt for eosd output.
Synching requires at least 8 minutes, depending on network conditions.

To confirm eosd operation and synchronization:

tail -F testnet_np/stderr.txt

To exit tail, use Ctrl-C. During synchronization, you will see log messages similar to:

3439731ms            chain_plugin.cpp:272          accept_block         ] Syncing Blockchain --- Got block: #200000 time: 2017-12-09T07:56:32 producer: initu

Synchronization is complete when you see log messages similar to:

42467ms            net_plugin.cpp:1245           start_sync           ] Catching up with chain, our last req is 351734, theirs is 351962 peer ip-10-160-11-116:9876

42793ms            chain_controller.cpp:208      _push_block          ] inito #351948 @2017-12-12T22:59:46  | 0 trx, 0 pending, exectime_ms=0
42793ms            chain_controller.cpp:208      _push_block          ] initd #351949 @2017-12-12T22:59:48  | 0 trx, 0 pending, exectime_ms=0

This eosd instance listens on 127.0.0.1:8888 for http requests, on all interfaces at port 9877 for P2P requests, and includes the wallet plugins.

To use the WASM compiler, EOS has an external dependency on binaryen:

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/WebAssembly/binaryen.git
cd ~/binaryen
git checkout tags/1.37.14
cmake . && make

Add BINARYEN_ROOT to your .bash_profile:

echo "export BINARYEN_ROOT=~/binaryen" >> ~/.bash_profile
source ~/.bash_profile

By default LLVM and clang do not include the WASM build target, so you will have to build it yourself:

mkdir  ~/wasm-compiler
cd ~/wasm-compiler
git clone --depth 1 --single-branch --branch release_40 https://github.com/llvm-mirror/llvm.git
cd llvm/tools
git clone --depth 1 --single-branch --branch release_40 https://github.com/llvm-mirror/clang.git
cd ..
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=.. -DLLVM_TARGETS_TO_BUILD= -DLLVM_EXPERIMENTAL_TARGETS_TO_BUILD=WebAssembly -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ../
make -j4 install

Your environment is set up. Now you can build EOS and run a node.
