Kanari SDK

1. Setup Environment

  • Ensure you have Ubuntu or a similar Linux distribution.
  • Install necessary dependencies like build-essential, curl, clang, gcc, libssl-dev, llvm, make, pkg-config, tmux, xz-utils, ufw using the provided build_ubuntu.sh script.

2. Install Rust

  • Rust is required for building and running the Kari chain. Use the command provided in the build_ubuntu.sh script to install Rust and its package manager, Cargo.

3. Clone the Kari Chain Repository

  • Obtain the source code for Kari chain. This might involve cloning a Git repository or downloading source code from a specific location.

4. Build the Project

  • Navigate to the project directory.
  • Run cargo build --release to compile the project. This command compiles the project in release mode, optimizing the binary for performance.

5. Run the Node

  • After building, you can start a Kari chain node using cargo run --release. This command runs the compiled project.
  • Depending on the project's specifics, you might need to add additional flags or configuration files to successfully start a node.

6. Interact with the Kari Chain

  • Use the provided tools and documentation to interact with the Kari chain. This could involve sending transactions, mining blocks, or querying the blockchain state.

7. Update and Maintain

  • Regularly update your local repository with the latest changes from the main Kari chain source.
  • Rebuild the project as needed to ensure you're running the latest version.

Usage Example

# Update and install dependencies
./build_ubuntu.sh

# Clone the Kari chain repo 
git clone  https://github.com/kanari-network/kanari-sdk.git
cd kanari-network

# Configure and start node
# Interactive prompts will ask for:
# 1. Node type (enter 1 for validator)
# 2. RPC port (default: 3031)
# 3. Network domain (default: devnet.kari.network)
cargo run --release --bin kari start

# Start Kari node
# Windows
cargo run --release --bin kari start

# Linux/MacOS
cargo run --release --bin kari start
