Install
-
Install the latest 1.12 version of the Golang programming tools. Make sure the
$GOPATHenvironment variable is set. -
Download the Insolar package:
go get github.com/insolar/insolar -
Go to the package directory:
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/insolar/insolar -
Install dependencies and build binaries:
make
Deploy locally
-
Run the launcher:
scripts/insolard/launchnet.sh -gIt generates bootstrap data, starts a pulse watcher, and launches a number of nodes. In local setup, the "nodes" are simply services listening on different ports.
The default number of nodes is 5, you can uncomment more inscripts/insolard/bootstrap_template.yaml. -
When the pulse watcher says
INSOLAR STATE: READY, you can run the following:-
Requester:
bin/apirequester -k=.artifacts/launchnet/configs/ -p=http://127.0.0.1:19101/api/rpcThe requester runs a scenario: creates a number of users with wallets and transfers some money between them. For the first time, the script does it sequentially, upon subsequent runs — concurrently.
Options:
-k: Path to the root user's key pair. All requests for a new user creation must be signed by the root one.-p: Node's public API URL. By default, the first node listens on the127.0.0.1:19101port. It can be changed in configuration.
-
Benchmark:
bin/benchmark -c=4 -r=25 -k=.artifacts/launchnet/configs/Options:
-k: Path to the root user's key pair.-c: Number of concurrent threads in which requests are sent.-r: Number of transfer requests to be sent in each thread.
