The brew install boost --c++11 command failed for me due to an outdated version of Node.js. `brew upgrade` fixed this. I think it should be in the documentation to reduce the number of errors on install

Browser-Solidity
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
If you just want to try Solidity for small contracts, you
|
|
can try `browser-solidity <https://chriseth.github.io/browser-solidity>`_
|
|
which does not need any installation. If you want to use it
|
|
without connection to the Internet, you can also just save the page
|
|
locally or clone http://github.com/chriseth/browser-solidity.
|
|
|
|
NPM / node.js
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
This is probably the most portable and most convenient way to install Solidity locally.
|
|
|
|
A platform-independent JavaScript library is provided by compiling the C++ source
|
|
into JavaScript using Emscripten for browser-solidity and there is also an NPM
|
|
package available.
|
|
|
|
To install it, simply use
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
npm install solc
|
|
|
|
Details about the usage of the nodejs package can be found in the
|
|
`repository <https://github.com/chriseth/browser-solidity#nodejs-usage>`_.
|
|
|
|
Binary Packages
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
Binary packages of Solidity together with its IDE Mix are available through
|
|
the `C++ bundle <https://github.com/ethereum/webthree-umbrella/releases>`_ of
|
|
Ethereum.
|
|
|
|
Building from Source
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
Building Solidity is quite similar on MacOS X, Ubuntu and probably other Unices.
|
|
This guide starts explaining how to install the dependencies for each platform
|
|
and then shows how to build Solidity itself.
|
|
|
|
MacOS X
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
|
|
Requirements:
|
|
|
|
- OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)
|
|
- Homebrew
|
|
- Xcode
|
|
|
|
Set up Homebrew:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
brew update
|
|
brew upgrade
|
|
|
|
brew install boost --c++11 # this takes a while
|
|
brew install cmake cryptopp miniupnpc leveldb gmp libmicrohttpd libjson-rpc-cpp
|
|
# For Mix IDE and Alethzero only
|
|
brew install xz d-bus
|
|
brew install homebrew/versions/v8-315
|
|
brew install llvm --HEAD --with-clang
|
|
brew install qt5 --with-d-bus # add --verbose if long waits with a stale screen drive you crazy as well
|
|
|
|
Ubuntu
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
Below are the build instructions for the latest versions of Ubuntu. The best
|
|
supported platform as of December 2014 is Ubuntu 14.04, 64 bit, with at least 2
|
|
GB RAM. All our tests are done with this version. Community contributions for
|
|
other versions are welcome!
|
|
|
|
Install dependencies:
|
|
|
|
Before you can build the source, you need several tools and dependencies for the application to get started.
|
|
|
|
First, update your repositories. Not all packages are provided in the main
|
|
Ubuntu repository, those you'll get from the Ethereum PPA and the LLVM archive.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
Ubuntu 14.04 users, you'll need the latest version of cmake. For this, use:
|
|
`sudo apt-add-repository ppa:george-edison55/cmake-3.x`
|
|
|
|
Now add all the rest:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
sudo apt-get -y update
|
|
sudo apt-get -y install language-pack-en-base
|
|
sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
|
|
sudo apt-get -y install software-properties-common
|
|
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:ethereum/ethereum
|
|
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:ethereum/ethereum-dev
|
|
sudo apt-get -y update
|
|
sudo apt-get -y upgrade
|
|
|
|
For Ubuntu 15.04 (Vivid Vervet) or older, use the following command to add the develop packages:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
sudo apt-get -y install build-essential git cmake libboost-all-dev libgmp-dev libleveldb-dev libminiupnpc-dev libreadline-dev libncurses5-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libcryptopp-dev libjson-rpc-cpp-dev libmicrohttpd-dev libjsoncpp-dev libedit-dev libz-dev
|
|
|
|
For Ubuntu 15.10 (Wily Werewolf) or newer, use the following command instead:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
sudo apt-get -y install build-essential git cmake libboost-all-dev libgmp-dev libleveldb-dev libminiupnpc-dev libreadline-dev libncurses5-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libcryptopp-dev libjsonrpccpp-dev libmicrohttpd-dev libjsoncpp-dev libedit-dev libz-dev
|
|
|
|
The reason for the change is that `libjsonrpccpp-dev` is available in the universe repository for newer versions of Ubuntu.
|
|
|
|
Building
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
Run this if you plan on installing Solidity only, ignore errors at the end as
|
|
they relate only to Alethzero and Mix
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
git clone --recursive https://github.com/ethereum/webthree-umbrella.git
|
|
cd webthree-umbrella
|
|
./webthree-helpers/scripts/ethupdate.sh --no-push --simple-pull --project solidity # update Solidity repo
|
|
./webthree-helpers/scripts/ethbuild.sh --no-git --project solidity --all --cores 4 -DEVMJIT=0 # build Solidity and others
|
|
#enabling DEVMJIT on OS X will not build
|
|
#feel free to enable it on Linux
|
|
|
|
If you opted to install Alethzero and Mix:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
git clone --recursive https://github.com/ethereum/webthree-umbrella.git
|
|
cd webthree-umbrella && mkdir -p build && cd build
|
|
cmake ..
|
|
|
|
If you want to help developing Solidity,
|
|
you should fork Solidity and add your personal fork as a second remote:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
cd webthree-umbrella/solidity
|
|
git remote add personal git@github.com:username/solidity.git
|
|
|
|
Note that webthree-umbrella uses submodules, so solidity is its own git
|
|
repository, but its settings are not stored in `.git/config`, but in
|
|
`webthree-umbrella/.git/modules/solidity/config`.
