Python Client for the aleph.im network, next generation network of decentralized big data applications. Developement follows the Aleph Whitepaper.
Documentation (albeit still vastly incomplete as it is a work in progress) can be found at http://aleph-client.readthedocs.io/ or built from this repo with:
$ python setup.py docs
Some cryptographic functionalities use curve secp256k1 and require installing libsecp256k1.
$ apt-get install -y python3-pip libsecp256k1-dev
Using pip and PyPI:
$ pip install aleph-client
If you want NULS2 support you will need to install nuls2-python (currently only available on github):
$ pip install git+https://github.com/aleph-im/nuls2-python.git
To install from source and still be able to modify the source code:
$ pip install -e . or $ python setup.py develop
Use the Aleph client and it's CLI from within Docker or Podman with:
docker run --rm -ti -v $(pwd)/device.key:/home/user/device.key:ro alephim/aleph-client:beta bash
