Getting Started With Reach

Install Reach

Reach is designed to work on POSIX systems with make, Docker, and Docker Compose installed. The best way to install Docker on Mac and Windows is with Docker Desktop.

To confirm everything is installed try to run the following three commands and see no errors

$ make --version
$ docker --version
$ docker-compose --version

If you’re using Windows, consult the guide to using Reach on Windows.

Once you've confirmed that the Reach prerequisites are installed, choose a directory for this project such as:

$ mkdir -p ~/reach && cd ~/reach

Clone the Reach Auction demo application

Clone the repository using the following commands.

git clone https://github.com/algorand/reach-auction.git 

Navigate to the project folder

cd reach_auction

Next, download Reach by running

$ curl https://docs.reach.sh/reach -o reach ; chmod +x reach

Confirm the download worked by running

$ ./reach version

Since Reach is Dockerized, when first used, the images it uses need to be downloaded. This will happen automatically when used for the first time, but can be done manually now by running

$ ./reach update

You’ll know that everything is in order if you can run

$ ./reach compile --help

To determine the current version is installed, run

$ ./reach hashes

Output should look similar to:

reach: fb449c94
reach-cli: fb449c94
react-runner: fb449c94
rpc-server: fb449c94
runner: fb449c94
devnet-algo: fb449c94
devnet-cfx: fb449c94
devnet-eth: fb449c94

All of the hashes listed should be the same and then visit the #releases channel on the Reach Discord Server to see the current hashes.
