Building Ethereum

Building the official Go implementation of the Ethereum protocol for Callisto Network

The requirements for building the Callisto Network's geth executable binary are that Golang 1.10 or higher and a C/C++ compiler be installed.

Installing Golang version 1.10

1. Verify that operating system is up to date

   sudo apt update

   sudo apt -y upgrade

2. Download Golang

   sudo curl -O https://storage.googleapis.com/golang/go1.10.linux-amd64.tar.gz

3. Unpack Golang

   sudo tar -xvf go1.10.linux-amd64.tar.gz

4. Move created "Go" folder to /usr/local/ directory

   sudo mv go /usr/local/

5. Open user profile for editing

   sudo nano ~/.profile

6. Append Go folder path to opened profile by adding the following line:

   export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin

7. Save and close profile

   Ctrl-x

   y

8. Reload profile

   source ~/.profile

9. Verify Go installation

   go version

If the return reads go version go1.10 linux/amd64 or similar, proceed.

Installing GNU C compiler

1. Install build-essential tools

   sudo apt-get install build-essential

2. Verify installation of the gcc and make commands

   gcc -v

   make -v

If both commands display a version message without errors, proceed.

Clone the go-callisto repository

 `git clone -b CLO/1.0 https://github.com/EthereumCommonwealth/go-callisto.git`

Build geth command (or alternatively, all executables)

 `cd go-callisto`

 `make geth` or `make all`

Move the newly built binary files to /usr/local/bin directory

 `sudo mv /build/bin/* /usr/local/bin/`
