Before running the app in dev mode, make sure you have a running instance of Docker, and run the following command from the root directory to spin up a database instance:

yarn db:run

Create a .env file from .env.example:

cp .env.example .env

To build and run the application locally, run the following commands:

yarn install
yarn build
yarn start

⚠️ There are currently some issues with router redirection when using yarn dev. Please prefer running it with yarn start until those issues are fixed.

Build and run the development web socket:

yarn dev:ws

Open another terminal window and run the application in dev mode:

yarn dev

Happy hacking!

Whenever you make some changes to the database schemas and tables, make sure to run the following commands to generate the migrations:

yarn build
yarn db:gen-migrations

Run yarn start and navigate to the application URL to make sure they are running correctly.

Aleo is aiming to build a platform for web applications that are performant, secure, and private.

Before getting started there are a few prerequisites that you need to have installed on your machine. these are listed below:

• Rust: Rustup
• Git: Git
• Git LFS: Git Large File Storage

Now its time to install the Aleo tools. There are two tools that you need to install:

Leo: a high-level language that abstracts low-level cryptography concepts and makes it easy to integrate private applications into your stack. This language is used to create programs on the Aleo network.

# Download the source code
git clone https://github.com/AleoHQ/leo
cd leo

# Build and install
cargo install --path .

snarkOS: this is a decentralized operating system for zero-knowledge applications. This code forms the backbone of Aleo network, which verifies transactions and stores the encrypted state applications in a publicly-verifiable manner.

git clone https://github.com/AleoHQ/snarkOS.git
cd snarkOS
git checkout testnet3
cargo install --path .

Now that we have installed the necessary tools we can start building our first smart contract. Let's first use SnarkOS to run a local Aleo node where we are going to deploy our programs during development.

To run a local instance of an Aleo network, you have to install SnarkOS CLI and tmux on your computer, then run the following command from the Bot Busters root directory:

yarn aleo:devnet

You can type ctrl+b and type :kill-session to stop the network.

To deploy the Leaderboard program locally, set the following variables in your .env file:

ALEO_NETWORK_URL="http://localhost:3030"
ALEO_PRIVATE_KEY="APrivateKey1zkp8CZNn3yeCseEtxuVPbDCwSyhGW6yZKUYKfgXmcpoGPWH"
LEADERBOARD_PROGRAM_NAME="leaderboard.aleo"

These are the same as the defaults copied from .env.example.

Build the program:

yarn aleo:build-leaderboard

Deploy the program:

yarn aleo:deploy-leaderboard

It's normal for the script to take a while to complete.

If you wish to re-deploy the leaderboard you will have to update its name in the .env before re-running the deploy script. Aleo uses program names as identifiers, thus 2 programs with the same name cannot co-exist on the same network.

Create monitoring namespace:

kubectl create namespace monitoring

Deploy Prometheus:

kubectl apply -f deployment/templates/prometheus/

Deploy Prometheus adapter:

kubectl apply -f deployment/templates/prometheus-adapter/

You may need to restart the Prometheus adapter pod.
