## Automated development builds
|
|
|
|
The following builds are build automatically by our build servers after each push to the [develop](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/tree/develop) branch.
|
|
|
|
* [Docker](https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/ethereum/client-go/)
|
|
* [OS X](http://build.ethdev.com/builds/OSX%20Go%20develop%20branch/Mist-OSX-latest.dmg)
|
|
* Ubuntu
|
|
[trusty](https://build.ethdev.com/builds/Linux%20Go%20develop%20deb%20i386-trusty/latest/) |
|
|
[utopic](https://build.ethdev.com/builds/Linux%20Go%20develop%20deb%20i386-utopic/latest/)
|
|
* [Windows 64-bit](https://build.ethdev.com/builds/Windows%20Go%20develop%20branch/Geth-Win64-latest.zip)
|
|
* [ARM](https://build.ethdev.com/builds/ARM%20Go%20develop%20branch/geth-ARM-latest.tar.bz2)
|

|
## Building the source
|
|
|
|
For prerequisites and detailed build instructions please read the
|
|
[Installation Instructions](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/wiki/Building-Ethereum)
|
|
on the wiki.
|
|
|
|
Building geth requires both a Go and a C compiler.
|
|
You can install them using your favourite package manager.
|
|
Once the dependencies are installed, run
|
|
|
|
make geth
|
|
|
|
## Executables
|
|
|
|
The go-ethereum project comes with several wrappers/executables found in the `cmd` directory.
|
|
|
|
| Command | Description |
|
|
|:----------:|-------------|
|
|
| **`geth`** | Our main Ethereum CLI client. It is the entry point into the Ethereum network (main-, test- or private net), capable of running as a full node (default) archive node (retaining all historical state) or a light node (retrieving data live). It can be used by other processes as an gateway into the Ethereum network via JSON RPC endpoints exposed on top of HTTP, WebSocket and/or IPC transports. Please see our [Command Line Options](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/wiki/Command-Line-Options) wiki page for details. |
|
|
| `abigen` | Source code generator to convert Ethereum contract definitions into easy to use, compile-time type-safe Go packages. It operates on plain [Ethereum contract ABIs](https://github.com/ethereum/wiki/wiki/Ethereum-Contract-ABI) with expanded functionality if the contract bytecode is also available. However it also accepts Solidity source files, making development much more streamlined. Please see our [Native DApps](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/wiki/Native-DApps:-Go-bindings-to-Ethereum-contracts) wiki page for details. |
|
|
| `bootnode` | Stripped down version of our Ethereum client implementation that only takes part in the network node discovery protocol, but does not run any of the higher level application protocols. It can be used as a lightweight bootstrap node to aid in finding peers in private networks. |
|
|
| `disasm` | Bytecode disassembler to convert EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) bytecode into more user friendly assembly-like opcodes (e.g. `echo "6001" | disasm`). For details on the individual opcodes, please see pages 22-30 of the [Ethereum Yellow Paper](http://gavwood.com/paper.pdf). |
|
|
| `evm` | Developer utility version of the EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) that is capable of running bytecode snippets within a configurable environment and execution mode. Its purpose is to allow insolated, fine graned debugging of EVM opcodes (e.g. `evm --code 60ff60ff --debug`). |
|
|
| `gethrpctest` | Developer utility tool to support our [ethereum/rpc-test](https://github.com/ethereum/rpc-tests) test suite which validates baseline conformity to the [Ethereum JSON RPC](https://github.com/ethereum/wiki/wiki/JSON-RPC) specs. Please see the [test suite's readme](https://github.com/ethereum/rpc-tests/blob/master/README.md) for details. |
|
|
| `rlpdump` | Developer utility tool to convert binary RLP ([Recursive Length Prefix](https://github.com/ethereum/wiki/wiki/RLP)) dumps (data encoding used by the Ethereum protocol both network as well as consensus wise) to user friendlier hierarchical representation (e.g. `rlpdump --hex CE0183FFFFFFC4C304050583616263`). |

## Contribution
|
|
|
|
Thank you for considering to help out with the source code! We welcome contributions from
|
|
anyone on the internet, and are grateful for even the smallest of fixes!
|
|
|
|
If you'd like to contribute to go-ethereum, please fork, fix, commit and send a pull request
|
|
for the maintainers to review and merge into the main code base. If you wish to submit more
|
|
complex changes though, please check up with the core devs first on [our gitter channel](https://gitter.im/ethereum/go-ethereum)
|
|
to ensure those changes are in line with the general philosopy of the project and/or get some
|
|
early feedback which can make both your efforts much lighter as well as our review and merge
|
|
procedures quick and simple.
|
|
|
|
Please make sure your contributions adhere to our coding guidlines:
|
|
|
|
* Code must adhere to the official Go [formatting](https://golang.org/doc/effective_go.html#formatting) guidelines (i.e. uses [gofmt](https://golang.org/cmd/gofmt/)).
|
|
* Code must be documented adherign to the official Go [commentary](https://golang.org/doc/effective_go.html#commentary) guidelines.
|
|
* Pull requests need to be based on and opened against the `develop` branch.
|
|
* Commit messages should be prefixed with the package(s) they modify.
|
|
* E.g. "eth, rpc: make trace configs optional"
|
|
|
|
Please see the [Developers' Guide](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/wiki/Developers'-Guide)
