To build the necessary binaries, we can just clone the repo, and use the provided Makefile to build the project. This will download the trusted setup params, and compile the source code.
$ git clone https://github.com/darkrenaissance/darkfi
$ make
This will install the binaries and configurations in the configured
namespace (/usr/local by default). The configurations are installed
as TOML files in /usr/local/share/doc/darkfi. They have to be copied
in your user's $HOME/.config/darkfi directory. You can review the
installed config files, but the defaults should be good for using
the testnet if you're following this document.
$ sudo make install
$ mkdir -p ~/.config/darkfi
$ cp -f /usr/local/share/doc/darkfi/*.toml ~/.config/darkfi
After the installation, you should have drk and darkfid
binaries in /usr/local. Also, the configuration files should be in
~/.config/darkfi. Now we're ready to use the testnet.
In one terminal, start darkfid, which is the daemon that will
communicate with the DarkFi network:
$ darkfid -v
And in the other terminal, we can use the CLI interface to darkfid
called drk:
$ drk -h
drk
USAGE:
drk [FLAGS] [OPTIONS] [SUBCOMMAND]
FLAGS:
-h, --help Prints help information
-V, --version Prints version information
-v, --verbose Increase verbosity
OPTIONS:
-c, --config <CONFIG> Sets a custom config file
