Parity
Fast, light, and robust Ethereum implementation
Be sure to check out our wiki for more information.
Requires Rust version 1.12.0 to build
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 to ask a question. We are glad to help!
Parity's current release is 1.3. You can download it at https://ethcore.io/parity.html or follow the instructions below to build from source.
Build dependencies
Parity is fully compatible with Stable Rust.
We recommend installing Rust through rustup. If you don't already have rustup, you can install it like this:
-
Linux and OSX:
$ curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh -
Windows
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, start "VS2015 x64 Native Tools Command Prompt", and use the following command to install and set up the msvc toolchain:
$ rustup default stable-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc
Once you have rustup, install parity or download and build from source
Quick install
cargo install --git https://github.com/ethcore/parity.git parity
Build from source
# download Parity code
$ git clone https://github.com/ethcore/parity
$ cd parity
# build in release mode
$ cargo build --release
This will produce an executable in the ./target/release subdirectory.
Start Parity
Manually
To start Parity manually, just run
$ ./target/release/parity
and Parity will begin syncing the Ethereum blockchain.
Using systemd service file
To start Parity as a regular user using systemd init:
-
Copy
parity/scripts/parity.serviceto your systemd user directory (usually~/.config/systemd/user). -
To pass any argument to Parity, write a
~/.parity/parity.conffile this way:ARGS="ARG1 ARG2 ARG3".Example:
ARGS="ui --geth --identity MyMachine".
