Quickstart with a simulator

No external service requirements, no nodes running etc.

Install poetry if you don't have it already: https://python-poetry.org/docs/master/#installing-with-the-official-installer

Install coinman:

git clone git@github.com:trepca/coinman.git

poetry install

poetry shell

Now you can install Chirp.

git clone git@github.com:trepca/chirp.git

cd chirp

coinman init .

# run it in a simulator

coinman --simulator runserver

Running on testnet or mainnet

You'll need a full node for testnet or mainnet and chia config file the machine you're running this.

Install coinman as before and run poetry shell.

git clone git@github.com:trepca/chirp.git

cd chirp
# for testnet
coinman init --testnet .

# for mainnet
coinman init .

# init will generate a new wallet for you 
# send at least 0.01 (T)XCH to it to run it

coinman runserver
