Installing

Smilo and its Privacy Managers can be installed and used as Docker containers, by building from source, or by downloading pre-built release binaries.

As containers

Docker containers exist for Smilo and can be found at the smilofoundation Quay repository: Docker containers exist for Smilo Blackbox and can be found at the smilofoundation Quay repository:

docker pull smiloengineering/Smilo
docker pull smiloengineering/tessera
docker pull smiloengineering/constellation

From source

Smilo

  1. Clone the repository and build the source:

    git clone https://github.com/smilofoundation/Smilo.git
    cd Smilo
    make all
    

    Binaries are placed in $REPO_ROOT/build/bin. Add that folder to PATH to make geth and bootnode easily invokable, or copy those binaries to a folder already in PATH, e.g. /usr/local/bin.

    An easy way to supplement PATH is to add PATH=$PATH:/path/to/repository/build/bin to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_aliases file.

  2. Run the tests:

    make test
    

Privacy Managers

Tessera

Tessera is a production-ready implementation of Smilo's privacy manager. It is undergoing active development with new features being added regularly.

Follow the installation instructions on the Tessera project page.

Constellation

Constellation is the reference implementation of Smilo's privacy manager. It is still supported but no longer undergoing active development of new features.

Grab a package for your platform here, and place the extracted binaries somewhere in PATH, e.g. /usr/local/bin.

As release binaries

The pre-compiled release binaries for Smilo, Tessera and Constellation can be downloaded from the following links:

Once downloaded, add the binaries to PATH to make them easily invokable.
