## About Parity
Parity's goal is to be the fastest, lightest, and most secure Ethereum client. We are developing Parity using the sophisticated and
cutting-edge Rust programming language. Parity is licensed under the GPLv3, and can be used for all your Ethereum needs.
By default, Parity will run a JSONRPC server on `127.0.0.1:8545` . This is fully configurable and supports a number
of RPC APIs.
Parity also runs a server for running decentralized apps, or "Dapps", on `http://127.0.0.1:8080` .
This includes a few useful Dapps, including Ethereum Wallet, Maker OTC, and a node status page.
In a near-future release, it will be easy to install Dapps and use them through this web interface.
If you run into an issue while using parity, feel free to file one in this repository
or hop on our [gitter chat room ]([gitter-url] ) to ask a question. We are glad to help!
Parity's current release is 1.1. You can download it at https://ethcore.io/parity.html or follow the instructions
below to build from source.

## Building from source
Parity is fully compatible with Stable Rust.
2016-06-13 20:26:17 +02:00
We recommend installing Rust through [rustup ](https://www.rustup.rs/ ). If you don't already have rustup, you can install it like this:
2016-02-01 01:08:23 +01:00
2016-06-13 19:22:54 +02:00
- Linux and OSX:
2016-06-15 12:45:52 +02:00
```bash
$ curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh
```
2016-02-01 01:08:23 +01:00
2016-06-13 19:22:54 +02:00
- Windows
2016-06-15 01:16:10 +02:00
Make sure you have Visual Studio 2015 with C++ support installed. Next, download and run the rustup installer from
https://static.rust-lang.org/rustup/dist/x86_64-pc-windows-msvc/rustup-init.exe and use the following command to install and set up the msvc toolchain:
2016-06-14 19:36:14 +02:00
```
$ rustup default stable-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc
```
2016-06-13 19:22:54 +02:00
2016-06-14 19:36:14 +02:00
Once you have rustup, download and build parity:
2016-02-01 01:08:23 +01:00
```bash
2016-02-26 22:44:33 +01:00
# download Parity code
2016-06-01 20:10:51 +02:00
$ git clone https://github.com/ethcore/parity
$ cd parity
2016-02-19 13:21:52 +01:00
2016-02-26 22:44:33 +01:00
# build in release mode
2016-06-01 20:10:51 +02:00
$ cargo build --release
2016-02-01 01:08:23 +01:00
```
2016-06-01 20:10:51 +02:00
2016-06-15 12:22:26 +02:00
This will produce an executable in the `./target/release` subdirectory.
2016-06-01 20:10:51 +02:00
To get started, just run
```bash
2016-06-15 12:22:26 +02:00
$ ./target/release/parity
2016-06-01 20:10:51 +02:00
```
2016-06-14 19:36:14 +02:00
and parity will begin syncing the Ethereum blockchain.
