README for Allora Inference Extension

This document provides instructions on how to use the Makefile for building the extension.

Prerequisites

• Go Programming Environment
• GNU Make
• Node.js and npm (for the example target)
• Wget (for the setup target)

Makefile Targets

• build: Compiles the Go source file into a binary.
• clean: Removes the compiled binary and other generated files.
• example: Runs a Node.js build script in the allora-function-example directory.
• setup: Downloads and extracts the appropriate blockless runtime for the current OS and architecture.
• test: Runs a test using the blockless runtime and the built wasm file.

Usage

Run the following commands in your terminal:

• To compile the source code:

  make build
  

• To clean up generated files:

  make clean
  

• To run the example Node.js project:

  make example
  

• To set up the runtime environment:

  make setup
  

• To run tests:

  make test
  

Notes

The setup target automatically detects your operating system and CPU architecture to download the correct version of the blockless runtime. This process uses wget and tar for downloading and extracting the files, respectively.

The test target depends on both the build and example targets, ensuring that all necessary components are built before testing.

Support

For support, ensure that you have all the prerequisites installed and that your environment is set up correctly. If you encounter any issues, check the console output for error messages that may provide more information.
