RE: Episode 3 - Paying My Dues

in #eos6 years ago

Hi @jjcali, I just reviewed your earlier posts. It looks like in your initial post you were able to get the package built. I understand you are not real comfortable with the command line, but bear with us, remember the EOS software is still under development.

Recall the other day I suggested you try using the dawn-2.x version even for a single node local testnet. Given the confused state of your build directory, I suggest you go to the parent of the eos directory, then do the following sequence of commands to blow away the eos directory and reinstall/rebuild:

rm -rf eos
git clone https://github.com/eosio/eos --recursive
cd eos
git checkout DAWN-2018-02-14
./eosio_build.sh

note that in dawn-2.x, "eosiod" is referred to as "eosd". At this point you should switch to the readme.md in your eos directory since it got the right version checked out. Also, I suggest you review the document testnet.md, also in your eos directory.

One other note. At this point I do not recommend doing the suggested step of running "make install" given the incompatibility between versions, and the amount of change happening on the master branch right now, I think that make install is simply premature at this time and likely to cause confusion down the road.

Finally, since you are on a mac, I suggest you seek out a little utility called "macdown" which is a handy little utility for rendering and editing *.md files.

Best of luck!

Wow! Your awesome! I download the macdown. Looks like I have some reading to do now. This was very helpful. I quickly ran thought the commands listed above. Everything install properly but I received an error with the ./eosio_build.sh. I'm going to work through some more details tonight. Really appreciate the help!!!
