EthereumDevEnvSetup

This repository contains script which will download and install tools required to setup up Ethereum solidity based dApp on your machine.

You can use this tool for :

1. Automates dev environment setup for Ethereum dApp developement
2. Create a private Ethereum network.
3. Connect to global Ethereum network
4. Start mining
5. Use it as a wallet.

Why this tool was created?

I faced problems while setting up Ethereum Solidity development environment for dApp developement, then I wrote this automation tool which automates installing up all (geth, mist, Ethereum wallet ) developement dependencies in minutes.

Tools installed

• Geth
• Ethereum wallet in mist mode
• Geth miner

All these tools are required for the developement for Ethereum Solidity based dApps.

Project structure

• src : project source folder.
• src/resources : contains resource files of project.
• src/script : contains project scripts.
• src/tools : geth, ethereum wallet are installed here.

Prerequisite

• Linux machine
• unzip, tar and wget installed

How to run

Download geth, mist and initialize genesis block(One time task)

• git clone https://github.com/prakashpandey/EthereumDevEnvSetup.git
• cd EthereumDevEnvSetup
• chmod 777 src/scripts/*
• src/scripts/env.sh
• src/scripts/setup.sh
• src/scripts/init_genesis_block.sh

Run geth and mist

• cd EthereumDevEnvSetup
• src/scripts/start.sh

This will create process.txt at EthereumDevEnvSetup/src/tools which contains pid's of geth and mist process. Please create an account in mist before you start miner.

Run miner

• Open new terminal,
• cd EthereumDevEnvSetup
• src/scripts/miner.sh

When miner will start it will ask you three options

• Start miner : press 1 to start miner. It will print null on console which is its expected behaviour.
• Stop miner : press 2 to stop miner. It returns boolean true.
• Enter manual command : Anything - [1, 2]. This opens up console in which you can enter manual commands.
