-
Open a terminal.
-
Clone the repository by using the command
git clone https://github.com/Krish-Depani/Decentralized-Voting-System-Using-Ethereum-Blockchain.git -
Download and install Ganache.
-
Create a workspace named developement, in the truffle projects section add
truffle-config.jsby clickingADD PROJECTbutton. -
Download Metamask extension for the browser.
-
Now create wallet (if you don't have one), then import accounts from ganache.
-
Add network to the metamask. ( Network name - Localhost 7575, RPC URl - http://localhost:7545, Chain ID - 1337, Currency symbol - ETH)
-
Open MySQL and create database named voter_db. (DON'T USE XAMPP)
-
In the database created, create new table named voters in the given format and add some values.
CREATE TABLE voters ( voter_id VARCHAR(36) PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL, role ENUM('admin', 'user') NOT NULL, password VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL );
+--------------------------------------+-------+-----------+ | voter_id | role | password | +--------------------------------------+-------+-----------+ | | | | +--------------------------------------+-------+-----------+ -
Install truffle globally
npm install -g truffle -
Go to the root directory of repo and install node modules
npm install -
Install python dependencies
pip install fastapi mysql-connector-python pydantic python-dotenv uvicorn uvicorn[standard] PyJWT
-
Open terminal at the project directory
-
Open Ganache and it's development workspace.
-
open terminal in project's root directory and run the command
truffle consolethen compile the smart contracts with command
compileexit the truffle console
-
Bundle app.js with browserify
browserify ./src/js/app.js -o ./src/dist/app.bundle.js -
Start the node server server
node index.js -
Navigate to
Database_APIfolder in another terminalcd Database_APIthen start the database server by following command
uvicorn main:app --reload --host 127.0.0.1 -
In a new terminal migrate the truffle contract to local blockchain
truffle migrate
You're all set! The Voting app should be up and running now at http://localhost:8080/.
