Follow the steps below to get started with the example node.
Use Rust's native cargo command to build and launch the node:
cargo run --release -p wetee-node -- --devThe cargo run command will perform an initial build. Use the following command to build the node
without launching it:
cargo build --releaseOnce the project has been built, the following command can be used to explore all parameters and subcommands:
./target/release/wetee-node -hThe provided cargo run command will launch a temporary node and its state will be discarded after
you terminate the process.
After the project has been built, there are other ways to launch the node.
This command will start the single-node development chain with non-persistent state:
./target/release/wetee-node --devPurge the development chain's state:
./target/release/wetee-node purge-chain --devStart the development chain with detailed logging:
RUST_BACKTRACE=1 ./target/release/wetee-node -ldebug --devDevelopment chain means that the state of our chain will be in a tmp folder while the nodes are running. the following accounts will be pre-funded:
- Alice
- Bob
In case of being interested in maintaining the chain' state between runs a base path must be added so the db can be stored in the provided folder instead of a temporary one. We could use this folder to store different chain databases, as a different folder will be created for each chain that is ran. The following commands shows how to use a newly created folder as our db base path.
// Create a folder to use as the db base path
$ mkdir local-chain-state
// Use of that folder to store the chain state
$ ./target/release/wetee-node --dev --base-path ./local-chain-state/
// Check the folder structure created inside the base path after running the chain
$ ls ./local-chain-state
chains
$ ls ./local-chain-state/chains/
dev
$ ls ./local-chain-state/chains/dev
