Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.

Prerequisites

You will need python 3.x installed

Installing

After cloning/downloading this repository you have to install necessary packages from requirements.txt with following command

pip install -r requirements.txt

You will need a personal blockchain, which is a local development blockchain that can be used to mimic the behavior of a public blockchain. I recommend using Ganache as your personal blockchain for Ethereum development.

Now let's install the Truffle Framework, which provides a suite of tools for developing Ethereum smart contacts with the Solidity programming language.You can install Truffle with NPM in your command line like this.

 npm install -g truffle@5.0.2
