First of all, you need Git installed.
Then, if you go the preferred way, all you need is Docker.
Otherwise, if you want to build everything from scratch, make sure you have Java Development Kit 1.8 (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html) installed, the JRE will not suffice. If you have only JRE installed, you will get an error, that the javac command can't be found. Furthermore, you will need to have Maven installed. Also ... get Linux or macOS ;-) Of course it works on Windows too, the process might however look slightly different.
1. Get the Docker repository:
git clone https://github.com/OrdinaryDude/elastic-docker.git
2. Now, use the simple scripts to create the docker container and launch an instance. So, first of all: create the container (this has to be done only once):
./build_docker.sh
3. Now you can use
./run_docker.sh
to launch Elastic, and
./stop_docker.sh
to stop it again.
The web wallet will listen on http://localhost:6876.
If you want to remove Elastic entirely, just do:
./deinstall_docker.sh
1. Get the Elastic Docker
You might be have Docker Hub account and you must be login on your Docker Terminal
docker pull ordinarydude/elastic-docker
(optional) If you don't want to create account, you can use;
docker build https://github.com/OrdinaryDude/elastic-docker.git
2. Check your docker machine ip
docker-machine ip
Default docker machine is working on 192.168.99.100
3. Now you can run your elastic-docker image
docker run -p 192.168.99.100:6876:6876 -p 192.168.99.100:6874:6874 ordinarydude/elastic-docker
The web wallet will listen on http://192.168.99.100:6876
If you want to stop it; List your active containers
docker ps
Then copy your elastic-docker container ID. It is look like this: 289f3ec65f6b
docker stop 289f3ec65f6b
Go to your "Development" folder and issue:
git clone https://github.com/OrdinaryDude/elastic-pl.git
Go into the elastic-pl/ directory, and issue
mvn compile package install
to install the Elastic Programming Language in your local Maven repository. This will be required as a dependency for Elastic. Now, go back to the original path (cd ..).
Now, do
git clone https://github.com/OrdinaryDude/elastic-core.git
in order to checkout the fresh source code, followed by going into the elastic-core directory and issuing
mvn compile package
to compile and package the code. Afterwards, you can launch the elastic client by running
java -jar `ls target/elastic-core*.jar | grep -v "source"`
You can obtain some testnet XEL from the faucet located at http://elasticexplorer.org/faucet.
If you already have an old elastic version running and you now want to update XEL to the newest version, first stop your node (CTRL + C). Go to main directory of XEL and issue the following commands.
git pull; mvn clean compile package; rm -rf elastic_test_db/
This will delete all old blockchain data, and recompile the updated source code. If you get any error message that you have unstashed changes, stash them using
git stash
first and (if you need to) unstash them after compiling using
git stash apply
Then, you can run elastic again using
java -jar `ls target/elastic-core*.jar | grep -v "source"`
It is very simple. You can run this command on your Docker Terminal, if it has an update, it will be automatically
docker pull ordinarydude/elastic-docker
Then you can run your image.
