How to use it

Clone repo

git clone https://github.com/ovrclk/edgenet-environment.git
cd edgenet-environment

Allow direnv

Run following command to permit direnv. it needs to be done just once (see #updating-environment) This will automatically set up all required directories, download binaries and update PATH

direnv allow

Using

Both akash and provider-services binaries will be available in edgenet-environment directory. Don't need to put current path prefix ./to execute them. For example

akash version

it will execute akash binary located in .cache/bin. Same applies to the provider-services

Updating environment

.env file can be edited with extra environment variable like AKASH_NODE etc. Each update will prompt to run direnv allow

Adding keys

!!!Upon first call to direnv it will generate default key test

Use akash executable ONLY to manage keys. For example

akash keys add test

Creating deployments

Use provider-services to create deployment and lease transactions as well as sending manifest and checking lease status

provider-services tx deployment create <your deployment.yaml> --from=test
provider-services tx lease-create ...
provider-services send-manifest <your deployment.yaml> --from=test
