Introduction

This is a libp2p-backed daemon wrapping the functionalities of go-libp2p for use in Nim.
For more information about the go daemon, check out this repository.

Required only for running the tests.

Prerequisites

Go with version 1.16.0

You will likely be able to build go-libp2p-daemon with different Go versions, but they haven't been tested.

Installation

Run the build script while having the go command pointing to the correct Go version.

./scripts/build_p2pd.sh

build_p2pd.sh will not rebuild unless needed. If you already have the newest binary and you want to force the rebuild, use:

./scripts/build_p2pd.sh -f

Or:

./scripts/build_p2pd.sh --force

If everything goes correctly, the binary (p2pd) should be built and placed in the $GOPATH/bin directory. If you're having issues, head into our discord and ask for assistance.

After successfully building the binary, remember to add it to your path so it can be found. You can do that by running:

export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/go/bin"

Tip: To make this change permanent, add the command above to your .bashrc file.

Examples

Examples can be found in the examples folder
