Installation

With Makefile (Recommended)

This section provides a step-by-step guide on how to build the Elys Chain binary from the source code using the provided makefile. The makefile automates the build process and generates a binary executable that can be run on your local machine.

Click to expand/collapse
  1. Clone the Elys chain repository:
git clone https://github.com/elys-network/elys.git
  1. Navigate to the cloned repository:
cd elys
  1. Optionally, checkout the specific branch or tag you want to build:
git checkout <version>
  1. Ensure that you have the necessary dependencies installed. For instance, on Ubuntu you need to install the make tool:
sudo apt-get install --yes make
  1. Run the make build command to build the binary:
make build
  1. The binary will be generated in the ./build directory. You can run the binary using the following command:
./build/elysd

You can also use the make install command to install the binary in the bin directory of your GOPATH.

With Ignite (Experimental)

To install the latest version of Elys binary, execute the following command on your machine:

curl https://get.ignite.com/elys-network/elys@latest! | sudo bash

Development

You can use ignite-cli to get you started with your development environment. To install ignite-cli, execute the following command on your machine:

curl https://get.ignite.com/ignite/ignite-cli@latest! | sudo bash

Initialize

To initialize and serve your development environment, execute the following command:

ignite chain serve -r

serve command installs dependencies, builds, initializes, and starts Elys in development. The -r flag rebuilds the binary before starting the chain.
