Storj

---

Storj is a platform, token, and suite of decentralized applications that allows you to store data in a secure and decentralized manner. Your files are encrypted, shredded into little pieces and stored in a global decentralized network of computers. Luckily, we also support allowing you (and only you) to recover them!

Storj is in the midst of a rearchitecture. Please stay tuned for our v3 whitepaper!

To start developing

Install required packages

First of all, install git and golang.

Debian based (like Ubuntu)

apt-get install git golang
echo 'export GOPATH="$HOME/go"' >> $HOME/.bashrc
echo 'export PATH="$PATH:${GOPATH//://bin:}/bin"' >> $HOME/.bashrc
source $HOME/.bashrc

Mac OSX

brew install git go
if test -e $HOME/.bash_profile
then
	echo 'export GOPATH="$HOME/go"' >> $HOME/.bash_profile
	echo 'export PATH="$PATH:${GOPATH//://bin:}/bin"' >> $HOME/.bash_profile
	source $HOME/.bash_profile
else
	echo 'export GOPATH="$HOME/go"' >> $HOME/.profile
	echo 'export PATH="$PATH:${GOPATH//://bin:}/bin"' >> $HOME/.profile
	source $HOME/.profile
fi

Install storj

Clone the storj repository. You may want to clone your own fork and branch.

git clone https://github.com/storj/storj $GOPATH/src/storj.io/storj

Install all dependencies

go get can be used to install all dependencies. The execution will take some time. You can add -v if you want to get more feedback.

go get -t storj.io/storj/...

Fix error message cannot use "github.com/minio/cli" See https://github.com/minio/minio/issues/5974 for more details.

go get -t github.com/minio/cli && rm -rf $GOPATH/src/github.com/minio/minio/vendor/github.com/minio/cli
go get -t storj.io/storj/...

Run unit tests

go clean -testcache
go test storj.io/storj/...

You can execute only a single test package. For example: go test storj.io/storj/pkg/kademlia. Add -v for more informations about the executed unit tests.

Start the network

go install -v storj.io/storj/cmd/captplanet
captplanet setup
captplanet run
