Development Environment
This tutorial covers most qitmeer applications, including qitmeer, qitmeer-cli, qitmeer-miner, etc.
Shell and package manager
A uniform command style and a handy package manager will greatly increase efficiency.
Windows
Since windows commands are not in unix-like style, so it is strongly command to install Msys2, which presents a unix shell and a package manager (pacman). It would provide consistent experience as Mac or Ubuntu do.
- Download and install msys2 from http://repo.msys2.org/distrib/x86_64/msys2-x86_64-20190524.exe
- Find and run “MSYS2 MSYS” in Start Menu to MSYS2 shell
- Run following command to setup system environment variables
export PATH=/mingw64/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/mingw64/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
# update packages, it may ask you to re-open a terminal to process
# repeat this instruction until no packages to update
pacman -Syu
Mac
Mac is a Unix based OS, we just need to install the package manager.
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
brew update
brew upgrade
Ubuntu
Ubuntu has build-in package manager apt, just update to the latest state
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
Install Requisite
Before install Qitmeer, we need install git and golang.
Windows
pacman -S git mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-go
export GOROOT=/mingw64/lib/go
export GOPATH=/mingw64
Mac
brew install git go
