This section will guide you through the installation and initial configuration of astraivm, providing a step-by-step approach to setting up the environment and configuring the necessary parameters to get the Virtual Machine running on your local system or in a production setting.

Installation

Before you begin, ensure that your system meets the following prerequisites:

  • Operating System:

    • Linux (Ubuntu 20.04 recommended)

    • MacOS

    • Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL2)

  • Memory: At least 8 GB of RAM

  • Storage: At least 10 GB of free disk space

Step 1: Clone the Repository

Start by cloning the astraivm repository from GitHub to your local machine. Open a terminal window and run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/Astrai/astraivm.git
cd astraivm

  • Checkoutv0.1.0 git tag to use the stable version

  • Checkout main branch to use the latest version

Step 2: Build the Project

After cloning the repository, build the astraivm project to compile the source code into executable binaries:

./scripts/build.sh

This script will handle the compilation of all components required for astraivm to run.

To start astraivm, use the following command:

./scripts/run.sh

You should see output indicating that the VM is initializing, two subnets running the astraivm , and 5 validators running on each subnet. Once it starts, astraivm will begin processing transactions and blocks according to the rules defined in our run.sh file.
