-
Getting the package
-
-Use go's package manager to fetch the go-ethereum package:
-
go get github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum
-
-Verify the installation with a simple ethereum.go example program:
-
package main
-
-import (
- "gitub.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/eth"
-)
-
-func main() {
- // setup ethereum. the rest of the defaults will be picked for us
- // (port, host, ipc, etc). Second argument is the type of node; full/light
- err := eth.New(eth.Config{
- Name: "My ethereum node",
- }, eth.Light)
- if err != nil {
- logger.Fatalln(err)
- }
-
- // let eth handle shutdowns
- eth.WaitForShutdown()
-}
-Ethereum is an open source crypto project written in the Go language
-(among others: Py & C++). This is the official Go implementation and home
-of geth, and the Ethereum toolset.
-
-
-
-Ethereum's publicly available network can be accessed by anyone at any
-time, freely without any cost. It can serve as a backbone for
-any open or closed sourced project that may require
-the robustness of free, public peer-to-peer networks with a consensus
-backing layer.
-
-
-
-Ethereum may also be run in a private environment, such as for use within a corporate network,
-without any cost. All core source is licensed under the LGPL
-and all frontend code is licensed under GPL.
-
-
-Getting started with Ethereum is simple, the only thing you require is the geth
-binary.
-
-Please refer to the developer documentation
-for a beginner tutorial on how to get started with the Go Ethereum API.
