Skycoin is a next-generation cryptocurrency.

Skycoin improves on Bitcoin in too many ways to be addressed here.

Skycoin is small part of OP Redecentralize and OP Darknet Plan.

For detailed installation instructions, see Installing Skycoin.

Install homebrew, if you don't have it yet.

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

Install the latest version of golang

brew install go

Setup $GOPATH variable, add it to ~/.bash_profile (or bashrc). After editing, open a new tab Add to bashrc or bash_profile

export GOPATH=/Users/<username>/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin

Install Mercurial and Bazaar

brew install mercurial bzr

Fetch the latest code of skycoin from the github repository

go get github.com/skycoin/skycoin

Change your current directory to $GOPATH/src/github.com/skycoin/skycoin

cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/skycoin/skycoin

Run Wallet

./run.sh

OR
go run ./cmd/skycoin/skycoin.go

For Options
go run ./cmd/skycoin/skycoin.go --help

sudo apt-get install curl git mercurial make binutils gcc bzr bison libgmp3-dev screen -y

use gvm or download binary and follow instructions.

In China, use --source=https://github.com/golang/go to bypass firewall when fetching golang source.

sudo apt-get install bison curl git mercurial make binutils bison gcc build-essential
bash < <(curl -s -S -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/moovweb/gvm/master/binscripts/gvm-installer)
source $HOME/.gvm/scripts/gvm

gvm install go1.4 --source=https://github.com/golang/go
gvm use go1.4
gvm install go1.8
gvm use go1.8 --default

If you open up new terminal and the go command is not found then add this to .bashrc . GVM should add this automatically.

[[ -s "$HOME/.gvm/scripts/gvm" ]] && source "$HOME/.gvm/scripts/gvm"
gvm use go1.8 >/dev/null

The skycoin repo must be in $GOPATH, under src/github.com/skycoin. Otherwise golang programs cannot import the libraries.

Pull skycoin repo into the gopath, note: puts the skycoin folder in $GOPATH/src/github.com/skycoin/skycoin

go get -v github.com/skycoin/skycoin/...

# create symlink of the repo
cd $HOME
ln -s $GOPATH/src/github.com/skycoin/skycoin skycoin

Dependencies are managed with dep.

To install dep:

go get -u github.com/golang/dep

dep vendors all dependencies into the repo.

If you change the dependencies, you should update them as needed with dep ensure.

Use dep help for instructions on vendoring a specific version of a dependency, or updating them.

After adding a new dependency (with dep ensure), run dep prune to remove any unnecessary subpackages from the dependency.

When updating or initializing, dep will find the latest version of a dependency that will compile.

Examples:

Initialize all dependencies:

dep init
dep prune

Update all dependencies:

dep ensure -update -v
dep prune

Add a single dependency (latest version):

dep ensure github.com/foo/bar
dep prune

Add a single dependency (more specific version), or downgrade an existing dependency:

dep ensure github.com/foo/bar@tag
dep prune

cd skycoin
screen
go run ./cmd/skycoin/skycoin.go

then ctrl+A then D to exit screen screen -x to reattach screen

Use gvm package set, so repo does not need to be symlinked. Does this have a default option?

gvm pkgset create skycoin
gvm pkgset use skycoin
git clone https://github.com/skycoin/skycoin
cd skycoin
go install

Install Gox:

go get github.com/mitchellh/gox

Compile:

gox --help
gox [options] cmd/skycoin/

We mainly has two branches: master and develop. The develop is the default branch as you can see, all latest code will be updated here.

The master branch will always be in run ready state and will only be updated when we need to release a new version.
