Build Iroha 2 Client ​

After you have installed Iroha from GitHub, follow these instructions to build the Iroha 2 client:

1. Install the Rust Toolchain
2. Build Iroha 2 Client

Install the Rust Toolchain ​

You need a working Rust toolchain: cargo, rustc v1.60 and up. ^[1]

Installing the Rust Toolchain is normally a straightforward process, but we've added troubleshooting details for each stage, in case you experience issues with the installation process.

The easiest way to get the official rustup script is to run:

$ curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

$ curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

Or, alternatively, you can install rustup via your operating system’s package manager.

If you chose to use the one-line curl script, you will be guided through the setup process. Just go with the defaults.

Build Iroha Client ​

1. Navigate to the directory containing the Iroha repository. If you followed the installation instructions here, run:

   bash

   $ cd ~/Git/iroha

   $ cd ~/Git/iroha

2. Build the Iroha 2 client using:

   bash

   $ cargo build -p iroha_client_cli --release

   $ cargo build -p iroha_client_cli --release

   Build artifacts are created in the ./target/debug/ directory.

   INFO

   We take pride in the fact that Iroha is extremely quick to compile. For reference, compiling hyperledger/substrate takes a good part of ten minutes on a modern M1 machine. Iroha, in comparison, compiles in around one minute.
