Since this affects transaction serialization, it will need to take effect from a future undecided timestamp (defined in constants.js), and both core & UI will need to share the same timestamp. The feature trigger timestamp comparisons can be removed 24 hours (or more) post-activation. This is because CHAT messages are currently discarded after 24 hours so we don't need to maintain backwards support of the old serialization approach. The feature trigger is only to ensure full chat operation during the 24 hours that the switchover occurs.
Qortal Project UI
Decentralizing The World
Building and Running Qortal UI Server from source:
Follow the steps below to download, install, build and run Qortal UI locally on Linux.
Installation
Packages required:
- Node.js
- npm
- yarn
Easiest way to install the lastest required packages on Linux is via nvm.
sudo apt update && sudo apt install curl -y
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/master/install.sh | bash
source ~/.profile
(For Debian based distro)
source ~/.bashrc
(For Fedora / CentOS)
nvm ls-remote
(Fetch list of available versions)
nvm install v16.16.0
(LTS: Gallium supported by Electron)
npm --location=global install yarn
npm --location=global install npm@8.19.2
On BSD do a pkg_add node followed by npm install -g yarn
Adding via binary package mirror will only work if you have set the package path. You can do a node or java build via ports instead by downloading ports with portsnap fetch method.
Verify your installtion with node --version
If you have an older installation of npm, please do not forget to update that with npm update -g.
Clone the main UI repo
git clone https://github.com/Qortal/qortal-ui.git
Installation and linking
In qortal-ui/
install_link:all
Build UI server and files
In qortal-ui
directory, run:
yarn run build
Start UI Server ( preferred way )
yarn run server &
The "&" at the end puts the UI server in the background.
Run UI using electron
yarn run start-electron
Build script (unix-like systems only)
To automate the above process, run ./build.sh, optionally specifying the following options:
-s
: run UI server after completing the build
-e
: run electron server after completing the build
-f
: force relink and reinstall dependencies
-h
: show help
Example command to build and run the UI server:
./build.sh -s
