Insolar Platform 1.0

Insolar Platform 1.0 resides in this repository. Insolar MainNet application (and its benchmark) resides in the insolar/mainnet repository and runs on top of Platform 1.0.

Assured Ledger, Insolar's Platform-as-a-Service solution, is being actively developed in the insolar/assured-ledger repository.

Quick start

To learn what distinguishes Insolar from other blockchain projects, go through the list of our features.

To get a grip on how Insolar works, take a look at the big picture and explore the architecture.

To run the Insolar Platform 1.0 locally, install it and deploy as described below.

Install

Install the latest 1.12 version of the Golang programming tools. Make sure the $GOPATH environment variable is set.
Download the Insolar package:
```
go get github.com/insolar/insolar
```

Go to the package directory:

cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/insolar/insolar

Install dependencies and build binaries:
```
make
```

Deploy locally

To deploy the Insolar network locally, run the launcher:

insolar-scripts/insolard/launchnet.sh -g

The launcher generates bootstrap data, starts a pulse watcher, and launches a number of nodes. In local setup, the "nodes" are simply services listening on different ports. The default number of nodes is 5, you can uncomment more in scripts/insolard/bootstrap_template.yaml.

When the pulse watcher says INSOLAR STATE: READY, the network is up and running.
