ACA-PY 0.6.0

Machine requirements

  • Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS
  • Git
  • Python

Steps to install

First you need to install libindy -> https://github.com/hyperledger/indy-sdk#installing-the-sdk

(The major artifact of the SDK is a C-callable library that provides the basic building blocks for the creation of applications on the top of Hyperledger Indy) We had some problems installing "libindy". Some dependencies were needed, namely the "libsodium18" bookstore that only exists for Ubuntu 16. When I tried to install on Ubuntu versions 16 and 18, these dependencies installed, but there were more dependency errors.

So we tried the Ubuntu 20 version:

  • sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 68DB5E88
  • sudo add-apt-repository "deb https://repo.sovrin.org/sdk/deb bionic master"
  • sudo apt-get update
  • sudo apt-get install -y libindy

Now that libindy is installed, let’s continue with ACA-py:

  • pip3 install python3-indy
  • pip3 install aries-cloudagent

To check if ACA-PY is installed, just run the code aca-py --version and version 0.6.0 should appear.
