SETUP AND GETTING A COPY OF THE PROJECT RUNNING ON YOUR LOCAL MACHINE
MultiChain setup
Follow the installation guide on https://www.multichain.com/download-install/
Afted installing the MultiChain server, it is necessary to add its directory into your PATH for the next steps.
Create a test chain to initialize its directory structure and run it (you can delete it afterwards)
multichain-util create testchain multichaind testchain -daemon
Terminate the testchain instance and navigate into the MultiChain folder at C:\Users%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\MultiChain. If not present create multichain.conf and add the line autosubscribe=streams. (Optionally delete the testchain folder)
Create our cryptochain multichain
multichain-util create cryptochain multichaind cryptochain -daemon
You might notice that you get an output
Looking for genesis block... Genesis block found
Other nodes can connect to this node using: multichaind cryptochain@"ip.ad.dr.ess:PORT"
Listening for API requests on port "API-PORT" (local only - see rpcallowip setting)
Node ready.
The IP address will be set to the address of your machine, and the port number is set randomly. You have to set the port number in MultiChain/Backend/src/multichainOptions.js to the port number from your console output.
The password for the chain is also generated when creating the cryptochain multichain instance. Go to C:\Users%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\MultiChain\cryptochain and copy the generated password from the multichain.conf file and set it in multichainOptions.js
Frontend & Backend setup The repository has two main subdirectories client folder for the frontend of the application and backend in the main folder itself. Install npm packages in both of those directories.
Running the app Run MongoDB -> open a console and execute mongod (or start it by running the .exe file)
Run npm run dev for concurrently starting the frontend and the backend of the application
For running the multichain node locally in the development machine
multichaind cryptochain -daemon
The app should be now running with the frontend at localhost:3000 and backend at localhost:5000
