Building

With all dependencies installed and working, invoke make to build the software.

The development version of the blockchain is available as: devnet. make devnet to build the container and make start-devnet to run it.

The development version of the database is available as: postgres. make postgres to build the container and make start-postgres to run it.

Running

Running the software requires some environment variables to be set. The team provides defaults values for development purposes. Via make env. In addition to that, the node also requires a database and blockchain connections available. Containerized versions are available via make start-devnet start-postgres commands (may require building).
