go-nebulas

Official Go implementation of the Nebulas protocol. The current version is 2.0, also called Nebulas Nova.

For the roadmap of Nebulas, please visit the roadmap page.

For more information of Nebulas protocol, design documents, please refer to our wiki.

TestNet is released, please check here for more details.

Mainnet is released, please check here for more details.

Building from source

Prerequisites

Components	Version	Description
Golang	>= 1.12	The Go Programming Language

Build

Checkout repo.

git clone github.com/nebulasio/go-nebulas

The project is under active development. New users may want to checkout and use the stable mainnet release in master.

cd github.com/nebulasio/go-nebulas
git checkout master

Or use the stable testnet release in testnet.

git checkout testnet

Install native libs.

Nebulas execution need NVM and NBRE two dependent libraries. We provide stable versions of both libraries. Execute the execution script to install

cd github.com/nebulasio/go-nebulas

OS X:
./setup.sh

Linux:
source setup.sh

Note:

The dependency libraries are not installed in the system directory, and there are different path-loading methods used in Darwin and Linux systems.

• OS X:

  • In the user's root directory to create lib folder, system to load the library path can read this path, ensure that the root directory of the current folder does not exist. All of these operations in setup.sh already processing.(DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH is not possible unless System Integrity Protection (SIP) is disabled)

  ./setup.sh
  

• Linux - Ubuntu

  • setup.sh export LD_LIBRARY_PATH for native libs.

Build the neb binary.

• run command

make build

Building from Docker

You can specify the config file by modifying the docker-compose environment configuration.

• default docker compose config(version3):

version: '3'

services:
  
  node:
    image: nebulasio/go-nebulas
    build:
      context: ./docker
    ports:
      - '8680:8680'
      - '8684:8684'
      - '8685:8685'
      - '8888:8888'
      - '8086:8086'
    volumes:
      - .:/go/src/github.com/nebulasio/go-nebulas
    environment:
      - REGION=China
      - config=mainnet/conf/config.conf
    command: bash docker/scripts/neb.bash

• install docker and docker-compose
• run docker command

sudo docker-compose build
sudo docker-compose up -d

Run

Run node

Starting a Nebulas node is simple. After the build step above, run a command:

./neb [-c /path/to/config.conf]

Quick start please use script and added check(Recommend):

./start.sh mainnet|testnet|[-c /path/to/config.conf]

tips: more details about configuration, please refer to template.conf

You will see log message output like:
