Lisk Explorer version 1.0.0 works in conjunction with the Lisk Core API. It uses Redis for caching data and Freegeoip to parse IP geo-location data.
These programs and resources are required to install and run Lisk Explorer
-
Nodejs v6.0.0 or higher (https://nodejs.org/) -- Nodejs serves as the underlying engine for code execution.
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | sudo -E bash - sudo apt-get install -y nodejs -
Redis (http://redis.io) -- Redis is used for caching parsed exchange data.
sudo apt-get install -y redis-server -
Freegeoip (https://github.com/fiorix/freegeoip) -- Freegeoip is used by the Network Monitor for IP address geo-location.
wget https://github.com/fiorix/freegeoip/releases/download/v3.1.5/freegeoip-3.1.5-linux-amd64.tar.gz tar -zxf freegeoip-3.1.5-linux-amd64.tar.gz ln -s freegeoip-3.1.5-linux-amd64 freegeoip nohup ./freegeoip/freegeoip > ./freegeoip/freegeoip.log 2>&1 & -
Bower (http://bower.io/) -- Bower helps to install required JavaScript dependencies.
sudo npm install -g bower -
Grunt.js (http://gruntjs.com/) -- Grunt is used to compile the frontend code and serves other functions.
sudo npm install -g grunt -
Forever (https://github.com/foreverjs/forever) -- Forever manages the node processes for ark Explorer
sudo npm install -g forever -
Git (https://github.com/git/git) -- Used for cloning and updating ark Explorer
sudo apt-get install -y git -
Tool chain components -- Used for compiling dependencies
sudo apt-get install -y python build-essential automake autoconf libtool
Clone the Lisk Explorer Repository:
git clone https://github.com/seatrips/ark-explorer.git
cd ark-explorer
npm install
bower install
The frontend must be built with Grunt before starting Lisk Explorer. Run the following command to compile the frontend components:
grunt compile
Candlestick data needs to be initialized prior to starting Lisk Explorer. During runtime candlestick data is updated automatically.
To build candlestick data for each exchange run:
grunt candles:build
To update candlestick data manually run after initialization:
grunt candles:update
The default config.json file contains all of the configuration settings for Lisk Explorer. These options can be modified and have been documented below.
Example:
{
"host": "0.0.0.0",
"port": 6040,
"lisk" : {
"host" : "127.0.0.1",
"port" : 8000
},
"freegeoip" : {
"host" : "127.0.0.1",
"port" : 8080
},
"redis" : {
"host" : "127.0.0.1",
"port" : 6379,
"password" : ""
},
"exchangeRates": {
"enabled": true,
"updateInterval": 30000,
"exchanges": {
"LSK": {
"BTC": "poloniex",
"CNY": "jubi"
},
"BTC": {
"USD": "bitfinex",
"EUR": "bitstamp"
}
}
},
"cacheTTL" : 20,
"enableCandles" : true,
"updateCandlesInterval" : 30000,
"enableOrders" : true,
"updateOrdersInterval" : 15000
}
cacheTTL- time to live cache in redis.fixedPoint- fixed point number of Lisk (10^8).enableCandles- enable or disable updating of candlestick data.updateCandlesInterval- time to update candlestick data.enableOrders- enable or disable updating of order book data.updateOrdersInterval- time to update order book data.updateInterval- time to update exchange currency courses.
To enable Top Accounts functionality, edit your Lisk Client config.json (not the explorer):
{
"port": 8000,
"address": "0.0.0.0",
"version": "0.5.0",
"minVersion": "~0.5.0",
"fileLogLevel": "info",
"logFileName": "logs/lisk.log",
"consoleLogLevel": "info",
"trustProxy": false,
"topAccounts": false, <--- This line needs to be changed to read true
After the change is made the Lisk Client will need to be restarted. (Example):
bash /PATH_TO_LISK_DIR/lisk.sh reload
To test that Lisk Explorer is configured correctly, run the following command:
node app.js
Open: http://localhost:6040, or if its running on a remote system, switch localhost for the external IP Address of the machine.
Once the process is verified as running correctly, CTRL+C and start the process with forever. This will fork the process into the background and automatically recover the process if it fails.
forever start app.js
After the process is started its runtime status and log location can be found by issuing this statement:
forever list
To stop Explorer after it has been started with forever, issue the following command:
forever stop app.js
Before running any tests, please ensure Lisk Explorer and Lisk Client are configured to run on the Lisk Testnet.
Replace config.json with the corresponding file under the test directory:
cp test/config.json .
Replace the config.json for the Lisk Client the corresponding file under the test directory:
cp test/config_lisk.json /PATH_TO_LISK_DIR/config.json
Then restart the Lisk Client (example):
bash /PATH_TO_LISK_DIR/lisk.sh reload
Launch Lisk Explorer (runs on port 6040):
forever start app.js
Run the test suite:
npm test
Run individual tests:
npm test -- test/api/accounts.js
npm test -- test/api/transactions.js
