Specifies whether to build with or without optimization and without or with the symbol table for debugging. Unless you are specifically debugging or running tests, it is recommended to build as release.
For Ubuntu 24.04 users, after installing the right packages with apt
taraxa-node
will build out of the box without further effort:
# Required packages
sudo apt-get install -y \
libtool \
autoconf \
ccache \
cmake \
clang \
clang-format-17 \
clang-tidy-17 \
llvm-17 \
golang-go \
python3-full \
libzstd-dev \
libsnappy-dev \
rapidjson-dev \
libgmp-dev \
libmpfr-dev \
libmicrohttpd-dev
# Optional. Needed to run py_test. This won't install on arm64 OS because package is missing in apt
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ethereum/ethereum
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install solc
# Install conan package manager
sudo python3 -m pip install conan==1.64.1
# Setup clang as default compiler either in your IDE or by env. variables"
export CC="clang-17"
export CXX="clang++-17"
git clone https://github.com/Taraxa-project/taraxa-node.git
cd taraxa-node
git submodule update --init --recursive
# Optional - one time action
# Create clang profile
# It is recommended to use clang because on other compilers you could face some errors
conan profile new clang --detect \
&& conan profile update settings.compiler=clang clang \
&& conan profile update settings.compiler.version=17 clang \
&& conan profile update settings.compiler.libcxx=libstdc++11 clang \
&& conan profile update settings.build_type=RelWithDebInfo clang \
&& conan profile update env.CC=clang-17 clang \
&& conan profile update env.CXX=clang++-17 clang
# Compile project using cmake
mkdir cmake-build
cd cmake-build
cmake -DCONAN_PROFILE=clang -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo -DTARAXA_ENABLE_LTO=OFF -DTARAXA_STATIC_BUILD=OFF ../
make -j$(nproc)
First you need to get (Brew)[https://brew.sh/] package manager. After that you need tot install dependencies with it. Clang-17 is used for compilation.
brew update
brew install coreutils go autoconf automake gflags git libtool llvm@17 make pkg-config cmake conan snappy zstd rapidjson gmp mpfr libmicrohttpd
git clone https://github.com/Taraxa-project/taraxa-node.git
cd taraxa-node
git submodule update --init --recursive
# Optional - one time action
# It is recommended to use clang because on other compilers you could face some errors
conan profile new clang --detect && \
conan profile update settings.compiler=clang clang && \
conan profile update settings.compiler.version=17 clang && \
conan profile update settings.compiler.compiler.cppstd=17
conan profile update settings.compiler.libcxx=libc++ clang && \
conan profile update env.CC=clang clang && \
conan profile update env.CXX=clang++ clang
# Export needed var for conan
export CONAN_REVISIONS_ENABLED=1
# Build project
mkdir cmake-build
cd cmake-build
cmake -DCONAN_PROFILE=clang -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo ../
make -j$(nproc)
And optional:
# optional
make install # defaults to /usr/local
Sometimes conan cache goes wrong, so you should clean it up. You could face error like:
ERROR: boost/1.76.0: Error in package_info() method, line 1492
raise ConanException("These libraries were expected to be built, but were not built: {}".format(non_built))
ConanException: These libraries were expected to be built, but were not built: {'boost_math_c99l', 'boost_json', 'boost_math_c99', 'boost_nowide', 'boost_math_tr1l', 'boost_math_tr1f', 'boost_math_tr1', 'boost_math_c99f'}
It could be cleaned up with:
rm -rf ~/.conan/data
You should be able to build project following default MacOS building process. But here is a guide how to build project for x86_64 arch with Rosetta2.
softwareupdate --install-rosetta
arch -x86_64 zsh
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
/usr/local/bin/brew install coreutils go autoconf automake gflags git libtool llvm@13 make pkg-config cmake conan snappy zstd rapidjson gmp mpfr libmicrohttpd
git clone https://github.com/Taraxa-project/taraxa-node.git
cd taraxa-node
git submodule update --init --recursive
# Optional - one time action
# It is recommended to use clang because on other compilers you could face some errors
# Make sure that you executing this from x86_64 CLI. Could be verified with `arch` command
# It output should be equal to `i386`
conan profile new clang --detect && \
conan profile update settings.compiler=clang clang && \
conan profile update settings.compiler.version=17 clang && \
conan profile update settings.compiler.libcxx=libc++ clang && \
conan profile update env.CC=/usr/local/opt/llvm/bin/clang clang && \
conan profile update env.CXX=/usr/local/opt/llvm/bin/clang++ clang
# Export needed var for conan
export CONAN_REVISIONS_ENABLED=1
# Build project
mkdir cmake-build
cd cmake-build
# Make sure that you are specifying the full path to C and CXX compilers
cmake -DCONAN_PROFILE=clang -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=/usr/local/opt/llvm/bin/clang -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/usr/local/opt/llvm/bin/clang++ ../
make -j$(nproc)
OSX: maybe you need to set a new limit for max open files per thread/process:
ulimit -n 200000
cd cmake-build-release
make all_tests
or
cd cd cmake-build-release/tests
ctest
cd cmake-build-release/src/taraxad
Run taraxa node with default testnet config which on initial run will generate default
config and wallet file in ~/.taraxa/config.json
and ~/.taraxa/wallet.json
# run taraxa-node
./taraxad
Run taraxa node with specified config and wallet files
# run taraxa-node
./taraxad --config /path/to/config/file --wallet /path/to/wallet/file
Run help message to display all command line options to run and configure node in devnet, testnet or custom network
# help
./taraxad --help
