|
|
## Building & Documentation
|
|
|
|
> Note: The default `master` branch is the dev branch, please use with caution. For the latest stable version, checkout the most recent [`Latest release`](https://github.com/filecoin-project/lotus/releases).
|
|
|
|
For complete instructions on how to build, install and setup lotus, please visit [https://lotus.filecoin.io](https://lotus.filecoin.io/lotus/install/prerequisites/#supported-platforms). Basic build instructions can be found further down in this readme.

## Reporting a Vulnerability

Please send an email to security@filecoin.org. See our [security policy](SECURITY.md) for more details.

## Related packages
|
|
|
|
These repos are independent and reusable modules, but are tightly integrated into Lotus to make up a fully featured Filecoin implementation:

|
- [go-fil-markets](https://github.com/filecoin-project/go-fil-markets) which has its own [kanban work tracker available here](https://app.zenhub.com/workspaces/markets-shared-components-5daa144a7046a60001c6e253/board)

## Contribute
|
|
|
|
Lotus is a universally open project and welcomes contributions of all kinds: code, docs, and more. However, before making a contribution, we ask you to heed these recommendations:
|
|
|
|
1. If the proposal entails a protocol change, please first submit a [Filecoin Improvement Proposal](https://github.com/filecoin-project/FIPs).
|
|
2. If the change is complex and requires prior discussion, [open an issue](github.com/filecoin-project/lotus/issues) or a [discussion](https://github.com/filecoin-project/lotus/discussions) to request feedback before you start working on a pull request. This is to avoid disappointment and sunk costs, in case the change is not actually needed or accepted.
|
|
3. Please refrain from submitting PRs to adapt existing code to subjective preferences. The changeset should contain functional or technical improvements/enhancements, bug fixes, new features, or some other clear material contribution. Simple stylistic changes are likely to be rejected in order to reduce code churn.
|
|
|
|
When implementing a change:
|
|
|
|
1. Adhere to the standard Go formatting guidelines, e.g. [Effective Go](https://golang.org/doc/effective_go.html). Run `go fmt`.
|
|
2. Stick to the idioms and patterns used in the codebase. Familiar-looking code has a higher chance of being accepted than eerie code. Pay attention to commonly used variable and parameter names, avoidance of naked returns, error handling patterns, etc.
|
|
3. Comments: follow the advice on the [Commentary](https://golang.org/doc/effective_go.html#commentary) section of Effective Go.
|
|
4. Minimize code churn. Modify only what is strictly necessary. Well-encapsulated changesets will get a quicker response from maintainers.
|
|
5. Lint your code with [`golangci-lint`](https://golangci-lint.run) (CI will reject your PR if unlinted).
|
|
6. Add tests.
|
|
7. Title the PR in a meaningful way and describe the rationale and the thought process in the PR description.
|
|
8. Write clean, thoughtful, and detailed [commit messages](https://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit/). This is even more important than the PR description, because commit messages are stored _inside_ the Git history. One good rule is: if you are happy posting the commit message as the PR description, then it's a good commit message.

## Basic Build Instructions
|
|
**System-specific Software Dependencies**:
|
|
|
|
Building Lotus requires some system dependencies, usually provided by your distribution.
|
|
|
|
Ubuntu/Debian:
|
|
```
|
|
sudo apt install mesa-opencl-icd ocl-icd-opencl-dev gcc git bzr jq pkg-config curl clang build-essential hwloc libhwloc-dev wget -y && sudo apt upgrade -y
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Fedora:
|
|
```
|
|
sudo dnf -y install gcc make git bzr jq pkgconfig mesa-libOpenCL mesa-libOpenCL-devel opencl-headers ocl-icd ocl-icd-devel clang llvm wget hwloc hwloc-devel
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For other distributions you can find the required dependencies [here.](https://lotus.filecoin.io/lotus/install/prerequisites/#supported-platforms) For instructions specific to macOS, you can find them [here.](https://lotus.filecoin.io/lotus/install/macos/)
|
|
|
|
#### Go
|
|
|
|
To build Lotus, you need a working installation of [Go 1.19.12 or higher](https://golang.org/dl/):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
wget -c https://golang.org/dl/go1.19.12.linux-amd64.tar.gz -O - | sudo tar -xz -C /usr/local
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**TIP:**
|
|
You'll need to add `/usr/local/go/bin` to your path. For most Linux distributions you can run something like:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
echo "export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin" >> ~/.bashrc && source ~/.bashrc
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See the [official Golang installation instructions](https://golang.org/doc/install) if you get stuck.
|
|
|
|
### Build and install Lotus
|
|
|
|
Once all the dependencies are installed, you can build and install the Lotus suite (`lotus`, `lotus-miner`, and `lotus-worker`).
|
|
|
|
1. Clone the repository:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
git clone https://github.com/filecoin-project/lotus.git
|
|
cd lotus/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note: The default branch `master` is the dev branch where the latest new features, bug fixes and improvement are in. However, if you want to run lotus on Filecoin mainnet and want to run a production-ready lotus, get the latest release[ here](https://github.com/filecoin-project/lotus/releases).
|
|
|
|
2. To join mainnet, checkout the [latest release](https://github.com/filecoin-project/lotus/releases).
|
|
|
|
If you are changing networks from a previous Lotus installation or there has been a network reset, read the [Switch networks guide](https://lotus.filecoin.io/lotus/manage/switch-networks/) before proceeding.
|
|
|
|
For networks other than mainnet, look up the current branch or tag/commit for the network you want to join in the [Filecoin networks dashboard](https://network.filecoin.io), then build Lotus for your specific network below.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
git checkout <tag_or_branch>
|
|
# For example:
|
|
git checkout <vX.X.X> # tag for a release
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Currently, the latest code on the _master_ branch corresponds to mainnet.
|
|
|
|
3. If you are in China, see "[Lotus: tips when running in China](https://lotus.filecoin.io/lotus/configure/nodes-in-china/)".
|
|
4. This build instruction uses the prebuilt proofs binaries. If you want to build the proof binaries from source check the [complete instructions](https://lotus.filecoin.io/lotus/install/prerequisites/). Note, if you are building the proof binaries from source, [installing rustup](https://lotus.filecoin.io/lotus/install/linux/#rustup) is also needed.
|
|
|
|
5. Build and install Lotus:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
make clean all #mainnet
|
|
|
|
# Or to join a testnet or devnet:
|
|
make clean calibnet # Calibration with min 32GiB sectors
|
|
|
|
sudo make install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will put `lotus`, `lotus-miner` and `lotus-worker` in `/usr/local/bin`.
|
|
|
|
`lotus` will use the `$HOME/.lotus` folder by default for storage (configuration, chain data, wallets, etc). See [advanced options](https://lotus.filecoin.io/lotus/configure/defaults/#environment-variables) for information on how to customize the Lotus folder.
|
|
|
|
6. You should now have Lotus installed. You can now [start the Lotus daemon and sync the chain](https://lotus.filecoin.io/lotus/install/linux/#start-the-lotus-daemon-and-sync-the-chain).
|
|
|
|
7. (Optional) Follow the [Setting Up Prometheus and Grafana](https://github.com/filecoin-project/lotus/tree/master/metrics/README.md) guide for detailed instructions on setting up a working monitoring system running against a local running lotus node.
