How to Build & Run

These instructions are generic. For more detailed instructions, see the Waku source code above.

Prerequisites

The standard developer tools, including a C compiler, GNU Make, Bash, and Git. More information on these installations can be found here.

Wakunode

# The first `make` invocation will update all Git submodules.
# You'll run `make update` after each `git pull` in the future to keep those submodules updated.
make wakunode2

# Build with custom compilation flags. Do not use NIM_PARAMS unless you know what you are doing.
# Replace with your own flags
make wakunode2 NIMFLAGS="-d:chronicles_colors:none -d:disableMarchNative"

# Run with DNS bootstrapping
./build/wakunode2 --dns-discovery --dns-discovery-url=DNS_BOOTSTRAP_NODE_URL

# See available command line options

Issues

WSL

If you encounter difficulties building the project on WSL, consider placing the project within WSL's filesystem, avoiding the /mnt/ directory.

Developing

Nim Runtime

This repository is bundled with a Nim runtime that includes the necessary dependencies for the project.

Before you can utilise the runtime you'll need to build the project, as detailed in a previous section. This will generate a vendor directory containing various dependencies, including the nimbus-build-system which has the bundled nim runtime.

After successfully building the project, you may bring the bundled runtime into scope by running:

source env.sh

If everything went well, you should see your prompt suffixed with [Nimbus env]$. Now you can run nim commands as usual.
