This document covers common scenarios of launching zkSync applications set locally.
Prepare dev environment prerequisites: see setup-dev.md.
Setup:
zk # installs and builds zk itself
zk initDuring the first initialization you have to download around 8 GB of setup files, this should be done once. If you have a
problem on this step of the initialization, see help for the zk run plonk-setup command.
If you face any other problems with the zk init command, go to the Troubleshooting section at the
end of this file. There are solutions for some common error cases.
To completely reset the dev environment:
-
Stop services:
zk down
-
Repeat the setup procedure above
If zk init has already been executed, and now you only need to start docker containers (e.g. after reboot), simply
launch:
zk upzk contract redeployEnv config files are held in etc/env/
List configurations:
zk envSwitch between configurations:
zk env <ENV_NAME>Default confiruration is dev.env, which is generated automatically from dev.env.example during zk init command
execution.
Run server:
zk serverServer is configured using env files in ./etc/env directory. After the first initialization, file ./etc/env/dev.env
will be created. By default, this file is copied from the ./etc/env/dev.env.example template.
Server can produce block of different sizes, the list of available sizes is determined by the
SUPPORTED_BLOCK_CHUNKS_SIZES environment variable. Block sizes which will actually be produced by the server can be
configured using the BLOCK_CHUNK_SIZES environment variable.
Note: for proof generation for large blocks requires a lot of resources and an average user machine is only capable of
creating proofs for the smallest block sizes. As an alternative, a dummy-prover may be used for development (see
development.md for details).
Run prover:
zk proverMake sure you have environment variables set right, you can check it by running: zk env. You should see * dev in
output.
