Building taraxa-node

Compile-Time Options (cmake)

CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=[Release/Debug/RelWithDebInfo]

Specifies whether to build with or without optimization and without or with the symbol table for debugging. Unless you are specifically debugging or running tests, it is recommended to build as release.

Building project

1. Install dependencies

[Ubuntu 24.04]

# Required packages
sudo apt-get install -y \
    libtool \
    autoconf \
    ccache \
    cmake \
    clang \
    clang-format-18 \
    clang-tidy-18 \
    llvm-18 \
    golang-go \
    python3-full \
    libzstd-dev \
    libsnappy-dev \
    libmicrohttpd-dev

# Optional. Needed to run py_test. This won't install on arm64 OS because package is missing in apt
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ethereum/ethereum
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install solc

# Install conan package manager
sudo python3 -m pip install conan==2.15.0

[MacOS]

First you need to get (Brew)[https://brew.sh/] package manager. After that you need to install dependencies with it. Clang-18 is used for compilation.

brew update
brew install coreutils go autoconf automake gflags git libtool llvm@18 make pkg-config cmake conan snappy zstd libmicrohttpd

2. Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/Taraxa-project/taraxa-node.git
cd taraxa-node
git submodule update --init --recursive

3. Compile

# Build project
./scripts/build.sh

Known issues

Issues with conan cache

Sometimes conan cache goes wrong, so you should clean it up. You could face error like:

ERROR: boost/1.76.0: Error in package_info() method, line 1492
    raise ConanException("These libraries were expected to be built, but were not built: {}".format(non_built))
    ConanException: These libraries were expected to be built, but were not built: {'boost_math_c99l', 'boost_json', 'boost_math_c99', 'boost_nowide', 'boost_math_tr1l', 'boost_math_tr1f', 'boost_math_tr1', 'boost_math_c99f'}

It could be cleaned up with:

conan cache clean

Run

Running tests

cd build
make all_tests

or

cd build/tests
ctest

Running taraxa-node

cd build/bin

Run taraxa node with default testnet config which on initial run will generate default config and wallet file in ~/.taraxa/config.json and ~/.taraxa/wallet.json

# run taraxa-node
./taraxad

Run taraxa node with specified config and wallet files

# run taraxa-node
./taraxad --config /path/to/config/file --wallet /path/to/wallet/file

Run help message to display all command line options to run and configure node in devnet, testnet or custom network

# help
./taraxad --help
