Installation Instructions for Ubuntu

Installing from PPA

sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:vapory/vapory
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install vapory

If you want to stay on the bleeding edge, install the vapory-unstable package instead.

After installing, run gvap account new to create an account on your node.

You should now be able to run gvap and connect to the network.

Make sure to check the different options and commands with gvap --help

You can alternatively install only the gvap CLI with apt-get install gvap if you don't want to install the other utilities (bootnode, evm, disasm, rlpdump, vaptest).

Building from source

Building Gvap (command line client)

Clone the repository to a directory of your choosing:

git clone https://github.com/vaporyco/go-vapory

Install latest distribution of Go (v1.7) if you don't have it already:

See instructions

Building gvap requires Go and C compilers to be installed:

sudo apt-get install -y build-essential golang

Finally, build the gvap program using the following command.

cd go-vapory
make gvap

You can now run build/bin/gvap to start your node.
