Build
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
Mist (GUI):
|
|
|
|
`go get github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/cmd/mist`
|
|
|
|
Ethereum (CLI):
|
|
|
|
`go get github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/cmd/ethereum`
|
|
|
|
As of POC-8, go-ethereum uses [Godep](https://github.com/tools/godep) to manage dependencies. Assuming you have [your environment all set up](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/wiki/Building-Ethereum(Go)), switch to the go-ethereum repository root folder, and build/install the executable you need:
|
|
|
|
Mist (GUI):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
godep go build -v ./cmd/mist
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Ethereum (CLI):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
godep go build -v ./cmd/ethereum
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Instead of `build`, you can use `install` which will also install the resulting binary.
|
|
|
|
For prerequisites and detailed build instructions please see the [Wiki](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/wiki/Building-Ethereum(Go))

Automated (dev) builds
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
* [[Docker](https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/ethereum/client-go/)]
|
|
* [[OS X](http://build.ethdev.com/builds/OSX%20Go%20develop%20branch/Mist-OSX-latest.dmg)]
|
|
* [Windows] Coming soon™
|
|
* [Linux] Coming soon™
|
|
|
|
Executables
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
Go Ethereum comes with several wrappers/executables found in
|
|
[the `cmd` directory](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/tree/develop/cmd):
|
|
|
|
* `mist` Official Ethereum Browser (ethereum GUI client)
|
|
* `ethereum` Ethereum CLI (ethereum command line interface client)
|
|
* `bootnode` runs a bootstrap node for the Discovery Protocol
|
|
* `ethtest` test tool which runs with the [tests](https://github.com/ethereum/testes) suite:
|
|
`cat file | ethtest`.
|
|
* `evm` is a generic Ethereum Virtual Machine: `evm -code 60ff60ff -gas
|
|
10000 -price 0 -dump`. See `-h` for a detailed description.
|
|
* `disasm` disassembles EVM code: `echo "6001" | disasm`
|
|
* `rlpdump` converts a rlp stream to `interface{}`.
|
|
|
|
Command line options
|
|
============================
|
|
|
|
Both `mist` and `ethereum` can be configured via command line options, environment variables and config files.
|
|
|
|
To get the options available:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
ethereum -help
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For further details on options, see the [wiki](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/wiki/Command-Line-Options)
|
|
|
|
Contribution
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
If you'd like to contribute to go-ethereum please fork, fix, commit and
|
|
send a pull request. Commits who do not comply with the coding standards
|
|
are ignored (use gofmt!). If you send pull requests make absolute sure that you
|
|
commit on the `develop` branch and that you do not merge to master.
|
|
Commits that are directly based on master are simply ignored.
|
|
|
|
For dependency management, we use [godep](https://github.com/tools/godep). After installing with `go get github.com/tools/godep`, run `godep restore` to ensure that changes to other repositories do not break the build. To update a dependency version (for example, to include a new upstream fix), run `go get -u <foo/bar>` then `godep update <foo/...>`. To track a new dependency, add it to the project as normal than run `godep save ./...`. Changes to the [Godeps folder](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/tree/develop/Godeps): should be manually verified then commited.

To make life easier try [git flow](http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/) it sets this all up and streamlines your work flow.
