## 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 1.3. 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](https://www.rustup.rs/). If you don't already have rustup, you can install it like this:
|
|
|
|
- Linux and OSX:
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ 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
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cargo install --git https://github.com/ethcore/parity.git parity
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
## Build from source
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# 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
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ ./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:
|
|
|
|
1. Copy ```parity/scripts/parity.service``` to your
|
|
systemd user directory (usually ```~/.config/systemd/user```).
|
|
2. To pass any argument to Parity, write a ```~/.parity/parity.conf``` file this way:
|
|
```ARGS="ARG1 ARG2 ARG3"```.
|
|
|
|
Example: ```ARGS="ui --geth --identity MyMachine"```.
