README

Lisk Commander

Lisk Commander allows you to communicate with a remote or local node and carry out Lisk-related functionality.

Build Status License: GPL v3 Dependency Status devDependency Status

Prerequisites

Lisk Commander requires Node.js as the underlying engine for code execution. Node.js is supported on most operating systems. Follow the instructions for your operating system on the Node.js downloads page. We currently require Node.js versions 8.3 and above. NPM is automatically installed along with Node.js.

Installation

From NPM

$ npm install --global --production lisk-commander

Upon successful completion, NPM will add the lisk-commander executable lisk to your PATH.

From Source

Clone the Lisk Commander repository using Git and install the dependencies:

$ git clone https://github.com/LiskHQ/lisk-commander.git
$ cd lisk-commander
$ npm install

Before running the executable you will need to build Lisk Commander:

npm run build

Adding the Lisk Commander executable to your PATH

WARNING: If you have installed Lisk Commander globally via NPM (see Install Lisk Commander via NPM), following the instructions in this section is not recommended as they will introduce conflicts.

If you would like to add the lisk executable to your PATH you have two options: option 1 will install the current state of the code you are installing globally, while option 2 will only link to the code and therefore automatically reflect changes you make going forward.

1. Install globally

Running this command from within the repository will add Lisk Commander to your global NPM packages, and add the lisk executable to your PATH. Be aware that any previous globally installed Lisk Commander version will get overridden with this local version.

$ npm install --global --production

Note that you will have to repeat this process for each subsequent build of Lisk Commander.

2. Create a symlink

The other option is to ask NPM to create a symlink in the global folder that links to the package.

$ npm link

This will also add lisk to your PATH, but you won't have to repeat the process if you pull or create a new build. Be aware that any previous globally installed Lisk Commander version will get overridden with this local version.
