Prerequisite-Instructions-for-Deploying-and-Setting-Up-the-Polymath-Contracts

The following instructions will allow you to run the CLI on a local test network (Ganache) using the latest Polymath smart contracts - version 3.0.0

Install requirement packages

• node v10.16.0

• yarn v1.17.3

• Truffle v5.0.6 (core: 5.0.6)

• Solidity v0.5.8 (solc-js)

Step-by-Step Guide to Run the CLI

1. Create a new directory

2. Clone polymath-core repository https://github.com/PolymathNetwork/polymath-core/tree/master

3. cd into polymath-core

4. Checkout master branch $ git checkout master

5. Install truffle globally $ yarn global add truffle@5.0.6

6. Install dependencies $ yarn install

7. In a new terminal window run ganache with the script provided $ yarn ganache-cli

8. Go back to first terminal and compile and deploy contracts

$ truffle compile , $ truffle migrate

1. cd to CLI folder

2. Run yarn install

3. Return to root path and run node CLI/polymath-cli <command>

4. To see the list all available commands node CLI/polymath-cli -h

5. When CLI is run for the first time, it will try to create a local key store. It will prompt for the user private key and a password to encrypt it using the web3 key store V3 JSON standard. After that, the next time the user runs a CLI command, only his password will be prompted.

6. Starting working with the CLI

Note 1: You can access Ethereum testnets and mainnet via the Infura load-balanced nodes. You have to save your private key to ./privKey file and run CLI command adding --remote-node option. Example: node CLI/polymath-cli <command> --remote-node https://mainnet.infura.io/v3/111111111111111111111

Note 2: Parity can be used to run this on a testnet or mainnet. We recommend using Kovan due to gas limits: parity --chain kovan --rpcapi "eth,net,web3,personal,parity" --unlock [YOUR ACCOUNT] --password $HOME/password.file
