Getting started

Installation

Ensure that JRE 1.8 or higher is installed in your system. Also ensure that 8080 TCP port is free.

Windows

Download MSI installer from releases page. Double click on it. Currently installer is unsigned. It leads to red alert during installation. Do not afraid: it's OK.

Linux and macOS

We've prepared universal installation script. Just run this command in your terminal.

curl -sL https://git.io/pravda-for-unix | bash

Run node

Then we need to run local node. First of all lets build initial coin distribution config.

pravda gen address -o my-wallet.json

This command will generate ED25519 key pair. It's a valid Pravda wallet. Now you can add an address to coin distribution config.

[
  {
    "address": "address from my-wallet.json",
    "amount": 1000000000
  }
]

Save this to my-coin-distribution.json. Now lets initialize node configuration.

pravda node init --local --coin-distribution my-coin-distribution.json

Congratulations! The configuration is written to pravda-data/node.conf directory (also you can chose data directory using --data-dir key). Now let's run the node.

pravda node run

Now you have our own Pravda network with one validator, and one billion coins on your account. Check out http://localhost:8080/ui.

Transfer coins

You are very rich! Now you want to donate a part of your wealth to some poor guy. Let's generate wallet for him.

pravda gen address -o another-wallet.json

Wallet for poor guy is created. Now let's copy his address and transfer some coins.

pravda broadcast transfer \
  --wallet my-wallet.json \
  --to <address-of-poor-guy> \
  --amount 1000000

Now the poor guy is not so poor. We have done a good deed.
