Running the chain

This guide explains how to set up and run a local Torus Substrate node, noting that its storage may differ slightly from the mainnet.

Building from source

The recommended way to install dependencies is using Nix.

If you don’t want to use Nix, you should have the following dependencies:

You can install Rust using Rustup:

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

Then install protoc:

# on Ubuntu
sudo apt install protobuf-compiler

cargo build -p torus-node --release

To run a node connected to the Torus testnet:

cargo run --bin torus-node --release -- --chain data/testnet/spec.json

TODO

Check your code with:

cargo clippy

Run all tests with:

cargo test

Running a local dev node:

cargo xtask run local --alice

The --alice and --bob flags are used to run predefined validator nodes.
You can customize your node’s configuration by modifying the appropriate files in the project.
