In order to deploy Gimli Smart Contract you need the following software to be properly installed on your system:
- Geth 1.6.5+ (https://geth.ethereum.org/)
Also, you need Ethereum node running on your system and synchronized with the network. If you do not have one, you may run it via one of the following commands depending on whether you want to connect to PRODNET or TESTNET:
geth
geth --testnet
If you are running Ethereum node for the first time, you may also add "--fast" flag to speed up initial synchronization:
geth --fast
geth --testnet --fast
Also you need at least one account in your node. If you do not have any accounts, you may create one using the following commands:
geth attach
> personal.newAccount ();
> exit
It will ask you to choose passphrase and enter it twice, and it will output an address of your new created account.
You will also need some ether on your primary account.
In order to deploy Gimli Smart Contract do the following:
- Go to the directory containing deployment script, i.e. file named
deploy.js. - Attach to your local Ethereum node:
geth attach - Unlock your primary account:
personal.unlockAccount (web3.eth.accounts [0]);(you will be asked for your passphrase here) - Run deployment script:
loadScript ("deploy.js"); - If everything will go fine, after several seconds you will see message like
the following:
Deployed at ... (tx: ...), which means that your contract was deployed (message shows address of the contract and hash of the transaction the contract was deployed by)
- Write tests
