A collection of utilities for creating & benchmarking private Ethereum network

You need standard Geth installation to get started.
In Debian/Ubuntu, you can run the following command to install required toolset:

sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:ethereum/ethereum
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ethereum

Ethereum-benchmark has been tested against Geth version 1.8.18 on Ubuntu 18.04.

Clone this repository by doing

git clone https://github.com/puilp0502/ethereum-benchmark

First, create the bootnode's key:

bootnode -genkey boot.key

Then, generate node keys:

./gennodekey.sh [number of nodes]

Create genesis config using puppeth:

puppeth

Puppeth will ask you a few questions. Answer them as you like.
Note that Ethereum-benchmark expects network id of 1515. If you change this, you need to manually change node startup script(start_node*.sh). It also expects genesis config to be located at genesis.json.

Now, initialize your nodes:

./initnode.sh

If everying is completed without error, you should be able to start nodes now.
First, start bootnode:

./start_bootnode.sh

Then, in the other terminal(s), start nodes by doing:

./start_node[number].sh

The nodes should be up and mining that sweet sweet blocks.

cd benchmark
npm install
node index.js

Benchmark result will be stored in results/ directory.
