Understand the project

Practical overview

When it fits

Use iExec SDK when developing JavaScript software or terminal workflows that need to interact with the iExec decentralized marketplace.

Who it is for

  • JavaScript developers integrating iExec marketplace interactions into frontend or backend projects.
  • Developers who want to interact with the marketplace from a terminal.

Documented uses

  • Add iExec marketplace interactions to a JavaScript application.
  • Use a terminal interface for marketplace interactions.
  • Build a software workflow involving off-chain computations.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

  • Choose the JavaScript library for frontend or backend project integration, or the CLI for terminal-based interaction.
  • The README documents npm installation for both interfaces and directs users to separate library and CLI documentation for further instructions.
  • The repository's contributor test instructions require a local Dockerized test stack; this is distinct from installing the SDK for use.

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

Install the JavaScript library or CLI

Set up one of the documented iExec SDK interfaces for later marketplace interactions.

Before you start

  • A frontend or backend JavaScript project for the library route.
  • A terminal for the CLI route.
  • npm.

Steps

  1. For a JavaScript project, run the command below.

    Documented command
    npm install iexec
  2. Import the library with import { IExec } from 'iexec';.

  3. Alternatively, install the CLI with the command below.

    Documented command
    npm install -g iexec
  4. For the CLI, run iexec help to check commands.

Expected outcome

The library is installed for import into a JavaScript project, or the CLI is installed and its help output can be checked.

Guide limitations

  • These instructions cover installation and initial command discovery, not a complete workflow for running an off-chain computation.
