Voter Etherium Dapp

This is a basic NodeJs/Ethereum contract example I have been working on.

I am learning ETH contracts as I go so please bare with me if it isn't working correctly!

I have create this dapp with the use of testrpc on linux, I strongly suggest you use the same before giving it a go!

Big Nod goes to this guy

I read up on the basics and went from there

Below are some notes to setting up test-rpc in linux. It took me a little while so I thought I would share it

---

Takes a clean Ubuntu image, up to being dev ready.

install npm from official repo, as apt-get has a very old version of npm

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | sudo -E bash - sudo apt-get update -y && sudo apt-get upgrade -y

install the basics

sudo apt-get install -y build-essential python nodejs

NOTE some need sudo and web3 shouldnt be installed with sudo, it screws things up

upgrade npm before install tools

sudo npm install -g npm

install web3 library for ethereum contracts

npm install -g web3

install solidity for npm

sudo npm install -g solc

install testrpc

npm install -g ethereumjs-testrpc

You also need web3 locally in the project.

set up your project and then install web3 locally

npm install web3

TEST-RPC

run tesrpc in the console and you should see it start up and provide a list of accounts and private keys, use one of these accounts to test the dapp.
