Building the CURIUM REST Service

Back

Starting the Light-client Daemon (Local REST Server)

If required, please refer to the OS Setup for Curium and Development Environment Setup documents for instructions on how to set up your OS and Golang development environment.

  1. In a terminal, change to the Curium project working directory

    cd ~/go/src/github.com/bluzelle/curium

  2. Use make to build and install the blzd and blzcli executables

    make mainnet

  3. Ensure Bluzelle CLI works by executing the binary, you should be able to execute the app from your home directory:

    cd
blzcli

    The output of the Bluzelle CLI will be:

    Bluzelle CRUD Client

Usage:
  blzcli [command]

Available Commands:
  status      Query remote node for status
  config      Create or query an application CLI configuration file
  query       Querying subcommands
  tx          Transactions subcommands

  rest-server Start LCD (light-client daemon), a local REST server

  keys        Add or view local private keys

  version     Print the app version
  help        Help about any command

Flags:
      --chain-id string   Chain ID of tendermint node
  -e, --encoding string   Binary encoding (hex|b64|btc) (default "hex")
  -h, --help              help for blzcli
      --home string       directory for config and data (default "/Users/rnistuk/.blzcli")
  -o, --output string     Output format (text|json) (default "text")
      --trace             print out full stack trace on errors

Use "blzcli [command] --help" for more information about a command.

  4. Start the Light-client Daemon (LCD) on the command line using thes rest-server command with the "--node" argument to specify the IP address and RPC (TCP) port (typically 26657) of a Curium node in the zone to connect to

    blzcli rest-server --node <host>:<port>

    if the node is not specified the default value of "tcp://localhost:26657" will be used.

  5. You will now be able to interact with the connected zone via the REST interface provided by the LCD.
