#SuperNET Client "iguana"

#TL;DR#

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install git build-essential; git clone https://github.com/jl777/SuperNET; cd SuperNET; ./m_onetime m_unix;

The above one line gets SuperNET installed, built and launched for unix.

After that ./m_unix updates to latest. Continue below at "Running".

iguana is easy to build. Start by cloning (or downloading) this repository. *** all external dependencies have been removed, except for -lpthread and -lm

##For native (win32, win64)## TOOL_DIR := /usr/local/gcc-4.8.0-qt-4.8.4-for-mingw32/win32-gcc/bin MINGW := i586-mingw32 The above two definitions need to be changed to match the mingw install on your system. m_win32 and m_win64 just invokes the makefile in mingw32 and mingw64

##For chrome app## You need to make sure the nacl sdk is properly installed and you are able to build the examples. Now you will need to get the external libs, which can be built from scratch using naclports or there use the reference builds of libcurl.a and libz.a in the SuperNET/crypto777/pnacl_libs. You can just copy those over into $(NACL_SDK_ROOT)/<pepper_dir>/lib/pnacl.

#ONETIME# Now you are ready to build. I try to make the build process as simple as possible, so there are no autoconf, autoreconf, configure, cmake, make, to get properly installed and running and run, etc. You do need a C compiler, like gcc.

The first time you need to build libcrypto777.a and to do that you need to run:

For unix: ./m_onetime m_unix

For osx: ./m_onetime m_osx

For win32: ./m_onetime m_win32

For win64: ./m_onetime m_win64

#(RE)BUILD

Once libcrypto777.a is built, you can build the agents.

For pnacl: cd crypto777; make clean; make; cd ../iguana; make clean; make

For unix: ./m_unix

For osx: ./m_osx

For win32: ./m_win32

For win64: ./m_win64

The m_(OS) is a standard I follow and should be self explanatory. within each is usually just a few lines, ie compile all the .c files and link with the standard libs.

To build just iguana, you can cd into SuperNET/iguana and do ./m_unix (or ./m_osx, ...).

./m_clean will remove the files created from the building

#RUNNING#

The native versions are command line applications: agents/iguana {JSON} The chrome app pexe requires that the chrome is launched with a command line parameter (tools/chrome.localhost) and then browse to http://127.0.0.1:7777 to see the pexe

#SUPERUGLYGUI#

Once iguana is running, you can see the superuglyGUI at http://127.0.0.1:7778/?method by submitting API calls using the forms, you will see it go to some specific URL. You can also do a programmatic GET request to http://127.0.0.1:7778/api/<path to apicall>

http://127.0.0.1:7778/ramchain/block/height/0 -> full webpage

http://127.0.0.1:7778/json/ramchain/block/height/0 -> JSON only

curl --url "http://127.0.0.1:7778/ramchain/BTCD/block/height/0" --> full webpage returned (probably not what you want) curl --url "http://127.0.0.1:7778/api/ramchain/BTCD/block/height/0" --> returns just the json object from the api call

Internally, all paths convert the request into a standard SuperNET JSON request. you can use a POST command to directly submit such JSON requests: curl --url "http://127.0.0.1:7778" --data "{\"agent\":\"ramchain\",\"method\":\"block\",\"coin\":\"BTCD\",\"height\":0}"

Another approach is to use the bitcoin RPC syntax via: curl --url "http://127.0.0.1:7778" --data "{"coin":"BTCD","method":"getinfo","params":[]}" the params:[] array is where the standard bitcoin parameters go, the only change that is needed is to specify the coin alternatively {"agent":"SuperNET","method":"bitcoinrpc","coin":"BTCD"} will set the coin to use for bitcoin RPC calls. this will suffice in single coin environments

curl --url "http://127.0.0.1:7778" --data "{"agent":"iguana","method":"test"}" curl --url "http://127.0.0.1:7778/iguana/test" -> html page with results curl --url "http://127.0.0.1:7778/api/iguana/test" -> just json text http://127.0.0.1:7778 -> superugly GUI http://127.0.0.1:7778/iguana/test http://127.0.0.1:7778/api/iguana/test postCall('{"agent":"iguana","method":"test"}'} iguana_JSON("{"agent":"iguana","method":"test"}"); -> direct C function call

iguana can be invoked with a command line argument. if it is a name of a file, it will load it and check to see if it is valid JSON and if it is, it will use it. Otherwise the command line argument needs to be valid JSON to be used and it will process the JSON to initialize account passphrases, exchange apikeys, etc. A few special keys:

"wallet" -> passphrase used for the persistent privkey "2fafile" -> secondary part (optional) for the persistent privkey "numhelpers" -> number of helper threads (need at least 1) "exchanges" -> { "name":"", ... } "apikey", "apisecret", "userid", "tradepassword" these are as expected "pollgap" -> gap between each access to exchange for getting prices

on OSX mksquashfs is not native, you will need to install fuse: https://osxfuse.github.io/ and a squashfs for mac: https://github.com/vasi/squashfuse

user feedback:
A Note on Installation from pebwindkraft at bitco.in

======================= Though I had xcode installed, aclocal didn’t work. I installed homebrew, and then:

brew install autoconf

brew install automake

brew install gmp

2.) libsecp256 it complained, that libsecp256 was not there in includes, so I linked it. Loretta:/Users/volker/SuperNET/includes # ln -s ../osx/libsecp256k1 .

3.) I had to change ulimit During the syncing, I have many, many messages like this:

cant create.(tmp/BTC/252000/.tmpmarker) errno.24 Too many open files cant create.(tmp/BTC/18000/.tmpmarker) errno.24 Too many open files

Loretta:/Users/volker/SuperNET # ulimit -n 100000

tests

in the SuperNET/iguana/tests directory, there is a jsoncmp.c file, which can be built into the jsoncmp executable via ./make_jsoncmp once jsoncmp is built, then ./test shows how to use it ./jsoncmp {"fields":[{"fieldA":"requiredvalueA"},{"fieldB":"requiredvalueB"},...]}

the idea is to issue a curl command into a /tmp/file and then use jsoncmp to verify the exact value of one or more fields. it will print to stdout JSON with "error" or "result" and to stderr if there is an error
