Follow Setup to guide you install the CESS development.

The cargo run command will perform an initial build. Use the following command to build the node without launching it:

# Fetch the code
git clone https://github.com/Cumulus2021/cess.git
cd cess

# Build the node (The first build will be long (~30min))
cargo build --release

After the node has finished compiling, you can follow these steps below to run it.

If you already have keys for Substrate using the SS58 address encoding format, please see the next section.

Begin by compiling and installing the utility (instructions and more info here).

Generate a mnemonic (Secret phrase) and see the sr25519 key and address associated with it.

# subkey command
subkey generate --scheme sr25519

Now see the ed25519 key and address associated with the same mnemonic (Secret phrase).

# subkey command
subkey inspect --scheme ed25519 "SECRET PHRASE YOU JUST GENERATED"

We recommend that you record the above outputs and keep mnemonic in safe.

Launch node on the C-ALPHA with:

# start
./target/release/cess-node --base-path /tmp/cess --chain C-ALPHA

Then you can add an account with:

# create key file
vim secretKey.txt

# add secret phrase for the node in the file
YOUR ACCOUNT'S SECRET PHRASE

# add key to node
./target/release/cess-node key insert --base-path /tmp/cess --chain C-ALPHA --scheme Sr25519  --key-type aura --suri /root/secretKey.txt

./target/release/cess-node key insert --base-path /tmp/cess --chain C-ALPHA --scheme Ed25519  --key-type gran --suri /root/secretKey.txt

Now you can launch node again:

# start
./target/release/cess-node --base-path /tmp/cess --chain C-ALPHA

Install Docker first, and run the following command to start a node on the C-ALPHA:

docker pull cesstech/c-alpha:v0.0.1
docker run --network host cesstech/c-alpha:v0.0.1 ./CESS-v0.0.1/target/release/cess-node --base-path /tmp/cess --chain C-ALPHA

CESS has Rust unit tests, and can be run locally.

# Run all the Rust unit tests
cargo test --release
