Installation¶

Preface¶

Instructions are written in OSX and Linux in mind.

Experience needed

Basic command line usage
Basic Github usage
Basic GNU make usage

Setting up - OSX¶

Packages needed

Populus native dependencies

Get Solidity compiler. For OSX:

# Install solcjs using npm (JavaScript port of solc)
sudo npm install -g solc

# Symlink solcjs as solc, so that Populus finds it as default solc command
sudo ln -s `which solcjs` /usr/local/bin/solc

Clone this repository from Github.

Python 3.x required. See installing Python.

python3.5 --version
Python 3.5.2

Create virtualenv for Python package management in the project root folder (same as where setup.py is):

python3.5 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

Setting up - Ubuntu Linux 14.04¶

Install dependencies:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fkrull/deadsnakes
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y python3.5 python3.5-dev
sudo apt install -y git build-essential python3-setuptools libssl-dev

Install Go Ethereum:

sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:ethereum/ethereum
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y ethereum solc

Then:

git clone git@github.com:nordledger/eireg.git
cd eireg
python3.5 -m venv --without-pip venv
source venv/bin/activate
curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | python
pip install -r requirements.txt
