== Install Bazel ==

Bazel is a build system that is pretty fun.

[https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/install.html Bazel Install]

== Git Clone ==

<code>git clone https://github.com/snowblossomcoin/snowblossom.git</code>

== Build it ==

<pre>cd snowblossom
bazel build :all</pre>
=== Testing ===

<pre>bazel test :all</pre>
=== Stand alone jars ===

<pre>bazel build :SnowBlossomMiner_deploy.jar :SnowBlossomNode_deploy.jar :SnowBlossomClient_deploy.jar :Shackleton_deploy.jar</pre>
The jars will then be in bazel-bin and can be copied to other platforms (even windows).

== Run it ==

Some people like to run it under screen or tmux or whatever.

The setup for each binary is the same, the first option is a config file. See the examples/configs for examples.

=== Node ===

Acts as a p2p node, downloads and verifies the blockchain. Acts as a server for miner, client and shackleton.

<code>bazel-bin/SnowBlossomNode node.conf</code>

=== Miner ===

Generates new blocks. Requires snow fields, which be either downloaded or generated by the miner directly (can be slow).

<code>bazel-bin/SnowBlossomMiner miner.conf</code>

[https://snowblossom.org/snowfields/index.html Snow Field Torrents]

You can check the [https://explorer.snowblossom.org/ Explorer] to see which field is currently being used.

=== Client ===

Creates and manages a wallet.

<code>bazel-bin/SnowBlossomClient client.conf [command]</code>

Commands:

* send <amt> <dest> (sends funds)
* monitor (displays balance, repeats)
* loadtest (fun)

No command will display the addresses and balances and then exit.

=== Shackleton (block explorer) ===

<code>bazel-bin/Shackleton explorer.conf</code>

Answers http requests for information about the blockchain. Recommended to run node with tx_index=true so that shackleton can find all the transactions.
