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.

iOlite-Parity is a fork of official Parity-Ethereum repository with changes made by iOlite team to serve our project's purposes. iOlite-Parity was modified to support iOlite blockchain. To get more information about iOlite blockchain, check out our whitepaper on our official website.

iOlite-Parity is licensed under the GPLv3, and can be used for all your iOlite needs.

By default, Parity will also run a JSONRPC server on 127.0.0.1:8545 and a websockets server on 127.0.0.1:8546. This is fully configurable and supports a number of APIs. To build iOlite-Parity you should follow the instructions below to build from source.

Build dependencies

iOlite-Parity requires Rust version 1.27.1 to build

We recommend installing Rust through rustup. If you don't already have rustup, you can install it like this:

• Linux:

   $ curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh

  Parity also requires gcc, g++, libssl-dev/openssl, libudev-dev and pkg-config packages to be installed.

• OSX:

   $ curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh

  clang is required. It comes with Xcode command line tools or can be installed with homebrew.

Once you have rustup installed, then you need to install:

• Perl
• Yasm

Make sure that these binaries are in your PATH. After that you should be able to build parity from source.

Build from source

# download Parity code
$ git clone --single-branch -b iolite https://github.com/iolitelabs/iolite-parity.git
$ cd iolite-parity

# Set current Rust version to 1.27.1
$ rustup override set 1.27.1

# build in release mode
$ cargo build --release

This will produce an executable in the ./target/release subdirectory.

Note: if cargo fails to parse manifest try:

$ ~/.cargo/bin/cargo build --release

Note: When compiling a crate and you receive the following error:

error: the crate is compiled with the panic strategy `abort` which is incompatible with this crate's strategy of `unwind`

Cleaning the repository will most likely solve the issue, try:

$ cargo clean

This will always compile the latest stable iOlite builds.

Start Parity

To start iOlite-Parity, just run

$ ./target/release/parity --config iolite_config_node.toml

and iOlite-Parity will begin syncing the iOlite blockchain.
