devnet

Runs a Lotus daemon and miner to be used for boost integration tests.

To run it locally, install ./cmd/devnet and the lotus binaries into your $PATH, and simply run one of the integration tests - it should start devnet automatically.

Building and installing Lotus-related binaries

git clone https://github.com/filecoin-project/lotus
cd lotus
git checkout master # or whichever version
make debug
sudo make install
install -C ./lotus-seed /usr/local/bin/lotus-seed

Clean up state directories

Make sure your $LOTUS_PATH and $LOTUS_MINER_PATH are clean before running devnet:

rm -rf ~/.lotus
rm -rf ~/.lotusminer

Running using existing state directories

To use existing state directories and config the devnet can be run using ./devnet -i=false. This skips trying to initialize the devnet and will use the existing directories.
