Getting Started
Make sure you have the following packages installed on a python3 environment
- ipfsapi
- flask
- requests
Using anaconda you can do this with
conda create -n pyxain python=3.6
source activate pyxain
pip install flask requests ipfsapi
Then in the pyXain/ directory, run
pip install --editable .
export FLASK_APP=pyxain.api
export FLASK_DEBUG=true
flask run
to install the pyxain package and run the api server at localhost:5000.
You also must run have an ipfs daemon running in a separate terminal
ipfs daemon
You can now view the landing page on (http:///127.0.0.1:5000)
Note: every time you open a new terminal session and want to run the node, you need to enter both of the export statements.
Testing
All code should be tested and placed in the pyXain/tests/ directory in their respective files. Each module has its own test module.
