Instructions are written in ubuntu 16.04.
Experience needed:
Basic command line usage
Basic Github usage
Step 1: Install Python and Dependencies
Ensure the OS has latest packages: sudo apt-get update Install dependencies: sudo apt install -y git build-essential libssl-dev python3 python3-venv python3-setuptools python3-dev cmake libboost-all-dev Python 3.5+ required. Make sure you have a compatible version: python3.5 --version Python 3.5.2
Step 2: Configure System locale to C.UTF-8 (Required)
vi ~/.profile sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales export LC_ALL="C.UTF-8" export LC_CTYPE="C.UTF-8" source ~/.profile
Step 3: Install TokenMarketNet Tools, Python virtual environment and Required Dependencies
cd /usr/local sudo git clone --recursive https://github.com/TokenMarketNet/ico.git cd ico sudo python3.5 -m venv venv source venv/bin/activate sudo chown -R ubuntu:ubuntu /usr/local/ico pip install wheel pip install -r requirements.txt pip install -e .
Step 4: Install Solidity Compiler to compile Smart Contract
Install Solidity solc compiler: sudo apt install software-properties-common sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:ethereum/ethereum sudo apt update sudo apt install -y ethereum solc
Step 5: Setup the Parity Json-RPC For Posting of ICO operations to Ethereum Network.
The default set up assumes you run JSON-RPC in http://localhost:8545 for mainnnet and http://localhost:8547 for Kovan testnet.
apt-get install build-essential openssl libssl-dev libudev-dev curl https://get.parity.io -Lk > installer.sh Overwrite some variables in the installer.sh file. From this if [ "$RELEASE" = "beta" ]; then LOOKUP_URL="$VANITY_SERVICE_URL&os=$PKG&version=beta-release" elif [ "$RELEASE" = "stable" ]; then LOOKUP_URL="$VANITY_SERVICE_URL&os=$PKG&version=stable-release" else LOOKUP_URL="$VANITY_SERVICE_URL&os=$PKG&version=$RELEASE" fi To this: if [ "$RELEASE" = "beta" ]; then LOOKUP_URL="$VANITY_SERVICE_URL&os=$PKG&version=beta" elif [ "$RELEASE" = "stable" ]; then LOOKUP_URL="$VANITY_SERVICE_URL&os=$PKG&version=stable-backup" else LOOKUP_URL="$VANITY_SERVICE_URL&os=$PKG&version=$RELEASE" fi run below and parity will be installed. ./installer.sh
Step 6: Create a new Kovan testnet account via parity
parity account new --chain kovan --keys-path /home/ubuntu/.local/share/io.parity.ethereum/keys key in the password, the account password will be stored in plain text, so do not use a strong password. Create a file testkovan_accpwd.txt and store the password there. Store the Account Address, you will need this address to start parity later.
Step 7: Parity with Kovan Testnet
Start Parity JSON-RPC for Kovan testnet, unlocking your Kovan account for test transactions. It will permanently unlock your account using the password given and listen to JSON-RPC in port http://localhost:8547.
First run: parity --chain=kovan The chaindata files and such will be generated as below: Keys path /home/ubuntu/.local/share/io.parity.ethereum/keys/Kovan DB path /home/ubuntu/.local/share/io.parity.ethereum/chains/kovan/db/9bf3jewrre5ea98 Start: parity --chain=kovan --jsonrpc-hosts=all --unlock 0x013219ciu34545y305c9ec55f2ba8rje34er22 --password testkovan_accpwd.txt --jsonrpc-apis "web3,eth,net,parity,traces,rpc,personal" --jsonrpc-port 8547 --no-ipc --port 30306 --tracing on --allow-ips=public
Step 8: Getting Kovan testnet ETH
* Kindly ask people to send you Kovan ETH (KETH) on the Kovan Gitter channel
* https://faucet.kovan.network/
Step 9: Start Compiling Smart Contract .sol files
You will need to write the yml and sol files. Once done run the commands below:
cd /usr/local/ico source venv/bin/activate export SOLC_BINARY=/usr/local/ico/dockerized-solc.sh export SOLC_VERSION=0.4.18 populus compile
Step 10: Deploy Contracts
Start Parity using command in Step 7
Ensure you have activate the virtual environment following step 9. Take note the sample contracts has been deployed to Kovan before, you MUST create new contract using the samples before deploy.
deploy-contracts --deployment-name kovan --deployment-file crowdsales/allocated-token-sale-example.yml --address 0x013219ciu34545y305c9ec55f2ba8rje34er22
Step 11: Exit Virtual Environment
deactivate
