Kaspad is the reference full node Kaspa implementation written in Go (golang).
This project is currently under active development and is in a pre-Alpha state.
Some things still don't work and APIs are far from finalized. The code is provided for reference only.
## Requirements
Latest version of [Go](http://golang.org) (currently 1.13).
## Installation
#### Build from Source
- Install Go according to the installation instructions here:
http://golang.org/doc/install
- Ensure Go was installed properly and is a supported version:
```bash
$ go version
$ go env GOROOT GOPATH
```
NOTE: The `GOROOT` and `GOPATH` above must not be the same path. It is
recommended that `GOPATH` is set to a directory in your home directory such as
`~/dev/go` to avoid write permission issues. It is also recommended to add
`$GOPATH/bin` to your `PATH` at this point.
- Run the following commands to obtain and install kaspad including all dependencies:
```bash
$ git clone https://github.com/kaspanet/kaspad $GOPATH/src/github.com/kaspanet/kaspad
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/kaspanet/kaspad
$ ./test.sh
$ go install . ./cmd/...
```
`./test.sh` tests can be skipped, but some things might not run correctly on your system if tests fail.
- Kaspad (and utilities) should now be installed in `$GOPATH/bin`. If you did
not already add the bin directory to your system path during Go installation,
you are encouraged to do so now.
## Getting Started
Kaspad has several configuration options available to tweak how it runs, but all
of the basic operations work with zero configuration.
#### Linux/BSD/POSIX/Source
```bash
$ ./kaspad
```
