Hey, in this guide I will tell you how to setup a private VAempire Network cluster. Let's start by installing the VAempire Network's CLI by building it from source code.
CLI Installation
Follow the following steps to install VAempire CLI tool
Installing Dependencies
- Update & Install dependencies
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev libudev-dev pkg-config zlib1g-dev llvm clang make cmake protobuf-compiler
- Install Rust
curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh
source $HOME/.cargo/env
rustup component add rustfmt
rustup update
Installing VAempire CLI
- Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/VAempire-Network/vaempire-chain
- Change directory
cd vaempire-network
- Build binaries
./scripts/cargo-install-all.sh .
after successful installation, all the binaries will be available in /vaempire-network/target/release/
Genesis Generation
Before starting a boot node validator, we need to generate a genesis, and for that we need to setup the keypairs first.
- Generate bootstrap validator keypair
nexis-keygen new -o ~/bootstrap-validator-keypair.json
- Generate bootstrap vote keypair
nexis-keygen new -o ~/bootstrap-vote-keypair.json
- Generate bootstrap stake keypair
nexis-keygen new -o ~/bootstrap-stake-keypair.json
- Generate genesis
