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.
Before you choose

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.

Source-based practical guide

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

  1. Install the README-listed dependencies with apt-get.

  2. Clone the Avian repository and change into its directory.

  3. Configure the build with cmake -B build.

  4. 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.
