System Requirements

ANTZ can run on most Linux, macOS, and Windows systems. We recommend running it on a machine with at least 2 GB of RAM and 2 CPU cores (ant is highly parallel). On systems with less memory, it may not be completely stable.

Build from Source

antz’s build system requires Go 1.15.2 and some standard POSIX build tools:

  • GNU make
  • Git
  • GCC (or some other go compatible C Compiler) (optional)

To build without GCC, build with CGO_ENABLED=0 (e.g., make build CGO_ENABLED=0).

Install Go

The build process for ant requires Go 1.15.2 or higher. If you don’t have it: Download Go 1.15+.

You’ll need to add Go’s bin directories to your $PATH environment variable e.g., by adding these lines to your /etc/profile (for a system-wide installation) or $HOME/.profile:

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin
export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin

(If you run into trouble, see the Go install instructions).

Download and Compile ANT

$ git clone https://github.com/antnest-network/ant.git$ cd ant
$ make install

Alternatively, you can run make build to build the ant binary (storing it in cmd/ant/ant) without installing it.

NOTE: If you get an error along the lines of “fatal error: stdlib.h: No such file or directory”, you’re missing a C compiler. Either re-run make with CGO_ENABLED=0 or install GCC.

Cross Compiling

Compiling for a different platform is as simple as running:

make build GOOS=myTargetOS GOARCH=myTargetArchitecture

Usage

ant - Global p2p merkle-dag filesystem.  ant [<flags>] <command> [<arg>] ...SUBCOMMANDS
BASIC COMMANDS
init Initialize local ANT configuration
ADVANCED COMMANDS
daemon Start a long-running daemon process
NETWORK COMMANDS
id Show info about ANT peers
bootstrap Add or remove bootstrap peers
swarm Manage connections to the p2p network
ping Measure the latency of a connection
TOOL COMMANDS

Use 'ant <command> --help' to learn more about each command.
ant uses a repository in the local file system. By default, the repo is located at
~/.ant. To change the repo location, set the $ANT_PATH environment variable:
export ANT_PATH=/path/to/antrepo

Testnet Rewards?

There are total 1,000,000 Antz will be reward to Participants.

How to calculate the testnet reward for a single node?

The single node final reward will be determined based on the contribution and the length of online time of a single node.

We are still a very young project.

Various communities are forming and recruiting volunteers.
