Built for mission-critical use: Miners, service providers, and exchanges need fast synchronisation and maximum uptime. Parity Ethereum provides the core infrastructure essential for speedy and reliable services.
- Clean, modular codebase for easy customisation
- Advanced CLI-based client
- Minimal memory and storage footprint
- Synchronise in hours, not days with Warp Sync
- Modular for light integration into your service or product
Parity Ethereum's goal is to be the fastest, lightest, and most secure Ethereum client. We are developing Parity Ethereum using the sophisticated and cutting-edge Rust programming language. Parity Ethereum is licensed under the GPLv3 and can be used for all your Ethereum needs.
By default, Parity Ethereum runs a JSON-RPC HTTP server on port :8545
and a Web-Sockets server on port :8546
. This is fully configurable and supports a number of APIs.
If you run into problems while using Parity Ethereum, check out the wiki for documentation, feel free to file an issue in this repository, or hop on our Gitter or Riot chat room to ask a question. We are glad to help! For security-critical issues, please refer to the security policy outlined in SECURITY.md.
Parity Ethereum's current beta-release is 2.0. You can download it at the releases page or follow the instructions below to build from source. Please, mind the CHANGELOG.md for a list of all changes between different versions.
Parity Ethereum requires Rust version 1.28.x to build.
We recommend installing Rust through rustup. If you don't already have rustup
, you can install it like this:
-
Linux:
$ curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh
Parity Ethereum also requires
gcc
,g++
,libudev-dev
,pkg-config
,file
,make
, andcmake
packages to be installed. -
OSX:
$ curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh
clang
is required. It comes with Xcode command line tools or can be installed with homebrew. -
Windows Make sure you have Visual Studio 2015 with C++ support installed. Next, download and run the
rustup
installer from https://static.rust-lang.org/rustup/dist/x86_64-pc-windows-msvc/rustup-init.exe, start "VS2015 x64 Native Tools Command Prompt", and use the following command to install and set up themsvc
toolchain:$ rustup default stable-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc
Once you have rustup
installed, then you need to install:
Make sure that these binaries are in your PATH
. After that, you should be able to build Parity Ethereum from source.
In any of the supported Linux distros:
sudo snap install parity
Alternatively, if you want to contribute testing the upcoming release:
sudo snap install parity --beta
Moreover, to test the latest code from the master branch:
sudo snap install parity --edge
# download Parity Ethereum code
$ git clone https://github.com/paritytech/parity-ethereum
$ cd parity-ethereum
# build in release mode
$ cargo build --release --features final
This produces an executable in the ./target/release
subdirectory.
Note: if cargo fails to parse manifest try:
$ ~/.cargo/bin/cargo build --release
Note, when compiling a crate and you receive errors, it's in most cases your outdated version of Rust, or some of your crates have to be recompiled. Cleaning the repository will most likely solve the issue if you are on the latest stable version of Rust, try:
$ cargo clean
This always compiles the latest nightly builds. If you want to build stable or beta, do a
$ git checkout stable
or
$ git checkout beta
bash <(curl https://get.parity.io -L)
The one-line installer always defaults to the latest beta release. To install a stable release, run:
bash <(curl https://get.parity.io -L) -r stable
To start Parity Ethereum manually, just run
$ ./target/release/parity
so Parity Ethereum begins syncing the Ethereum blockchain.
To start Parity Ethereum as a regular user using systemd
init:
- Copy
./scripts/parity.service
to yoursystemd
user directory (usually~/.config/systemd/user
). - To configure Parity Ethereum, write a
/etc/parity/config.toml
config file, see Configuring Parity Ethereum for details.
