Practical overview

When it fits

Use it when you need the Conflux protocol implementation itself, want to operate a self-hosted node, or need a source base for protocol development and testing.

Who it is for

  • People who want to install and run a Conflux node.
  • Rust developers building or modifying Conflux protocol software.
  • Contributors working on issues, pull requests or proposed protocol changes.
  • Developers creating tooling around the documented Conflux crates and node implementation.

Documented uses

  • Install and run Conflux node software using the linked documentation.
  • Build the node implementation from source.
  • Modify protocol code and run unit or integration tests.
  • Review the repository layout and contribution process.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The repository is publicly visible and is licensed under GPL-3.0. The supplied record does not specify pricing or account requirements.

  • Rust is the primary implementation language, with a stated minimum supported Rust version of 1.94.
  • Running the documented integration tests requires Python 3.11, dependency setup, release builds, a consensus benchmark build and recursive submodule fetching.
  • Node installation and operation are directed to the Conflux documentation rather than fully described in the repository excerpt.
  • The repository includes both Rust unit tests and Python integration tests.
  • The project targets Linux, command-line, server and self-hosted environments.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Prepare the repository for Conflux integration tests

Set up the documented Python environment, dependencies, builds and submodules required before running the integration tests.

Before you start

  • A checkout of the Conflux Rust repository.
  • Python 3.11, created through the repository’s environment script.
  • Rust and Cargo sufficient for the project’s stated MSRV of 1.94.
  • The repository’s documented development scripts and submodules.

Steps

  1. Create and activate the virtual environment with source ./dev-support/activate_new_venv.sh, or activate the existing environment as documented.

  2. Install Python dependencies with the command below from the repository root.

    Documented command
    bash ./dev-support/dep_pip3.sh

  3. Compile Conflux in release mode with the command below.

    Documented command
    cargo build --release

  4. Build the consensus benchmark from tools/consensus_bench with the command below, then fetch submodules using the command below.

    Documented command
    cargo build --release
    Documented command
    git submodule update --remote --recursive --init

Expected outcome

The documented prerequisites for running the repository’s integration-test commands are prepared.

Guide limitations

  • This procedure documents test preparation; it does not establish that the tests complete successfully.
  • The repository separately documents the commands for running tests after setup.
