Practical overview
When it fits
Consider Avian when a project needs a blockchain focused on peer-to-peer asset transfer or management, or when developing an application around its Flight Plan automation.
Who it is for
- Developers building applications for issuing, managing or transferring assets.
- Developers exploring automated asset workflows using Avian Flight Plans.
- People interested in running Avian Core or participating in AVN mining.
Documented uses
- Issue and manage assets on a proof-of-work network.
- Transfer assets peer to peer.
- Build asset workflows that use Flight Plans for automation.
- Run a command-line or graphical Avian Core client.
- Build Avian Core from source or explore mining AVN with GPUs or CPUs.
Requirements & limits
The repository is public and Avian Core is released under the MIT license. The README links to a binary version through the project website.
- Avian is a proof-of-work network, and the project identifies AVN as its native coin.
- Avian Core includes both command-line and graphical clients.
- Flight Plans are the stated mechanism for asset automation, but the README does not enumerate specific actions.
- The repository documents a Linux build quick-start and separate build instructions for other operating systems.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Build Avian Core on Debian or Ubuntu
Compile Avian Core from its repository using the documented Linux quick-start.
Before you start
- A Debian or Ubuntu environment with the listed build dependencies available.
- Git, CMake and a C++ build environment.
Steps
Install the README-listed dependencies with apt-get.
Clone the Avian repository and change into its directory.
Configure the build with
cmake -B build.Compile with
cmake --build build -j$(nproc).
Expected outcome
The documented build process produces Avian Core in the build directory.
Guide limitations
- The steps are the repository's Linux quick-start; other platforms have separate build instructions.
- The repository notes that its stable branch is regularly built and tested but is not guaranteed to be completely stable.
