The GEX installation requires Go. If you don't already have Go installed, download the binary release that is suitable for your system and follow the installation instructions.
To install the latest version of GEX from GitHub, run the following command in a terminal window:
go get -u github.com/cosmos/gex
To launch the GEX block explorer in the terminal window, type:
gex
The GEX code resides in the main.go file.
An example how-to-connect-with-websocket file is provided in websocket.go. This example shows how to create the websocket connection to the Cosmos SDK.
Websocket takes care of the blocks, transactions and validators feed. A combination of the websocket and API requests are used in order to also feature connected peers or the version of Cosmos SDK currently running.
The UI framework for the terminal is Termdash. To see what is possible with Termdash, see Termdash on GitHub. Learn how to work with Termdash and see the available charting styles and paginations.
