Prerequisites

To run these tutorials, you must have the following installed:

• Docker and Docker-compose

⚠️ Note: If on MacOS or Windows, please ensure that you allow docker to use upto 4G of memory or 6G if running Privacy examples under the Resources section. The Docker for Mac and Docker Desktop sites have details on how to do this at the "Resources" heading

⚠️ Note: This has only been tested on Windows 10 Build 18362 and Docker >= 17.12.2

• On Windows ensure that the drive that this repo is cloned onto is a "Shared Drive" with Docker Desktop
• On Windows we recommend running all commands from GitBash
• Nodejs or Yarn

Usage

Create the docker-compose file and artifacts with

$> npx quorum-dev-quickstart

Welcome to the Quorum Developer Quickstart utility. This tool can be used
to rapidly generate local Quorum blockchain networks for development purposes
using tools like GoQuorum, Besu, and Codefi Orchestrate.

To get started, be sure that you have both Docker and Docker Compose
installed, then answer the following questions.

Which Ethereum client would you like to run? Default: [1]
	1. Hyperledger Besu
	2. GoQuorum
...
  Do you want to try out Codefi Orchestrate? Note: choosing yes will direct you to a login/registration page. [Y/n]
  ...
  Do you wish to enable support for private transactions? [Y/n]
  ...
  Do you wish to enable support for logging with ELK (Elasticsearch, Logstash & Kibana)? [y/N
...
Where should we create the config files for this network? Please
choose either an empty directory, or a path to a new directory that does
not yet exist. Default: ./quorum-test-network

This prompts you to pick a quorum variant, whether you would like to try Privacy and the location for the artifacts. By default artifact files are stored at ./quorum-test-network, change directory to the artifacts folder:

$> cd quorum-test-network

Alternatively, you can use cli options and skip the prompt above like so:

npx quorum-dev-quickstart -- --clientType besu --outputPath ./quorum-test-network --monitoring default --privacy true --orchestrate false

The arguments --privacy and --clientType are required, the others contain defaults if left blank.

To start services and the network:

Follow the README.md file of select artifact:

1. Hyperledger Besu
2. GoQuorum
3. Codefi Orchestrate
