## Requirements
The scripts require `lcli`, `lighthouse`, `geth`, `bootnode` to be installed on `PATH`.
The scripts require `lcli`, `lighthouse`, `geth`, `bootnode` to be installed on `PATH` (run `echo $PATH` to view all `PATH` directories).
MacOS users need to install GNU `sed` and GNU `grep`, and add them both to `PATH` as well.
From the
root of this repository, run:
The first step is to install Rust and dependencies. Refer to the [Lighthouse Book](https://lighthouse-book.sigmaprime.io/installation-source.html#dependencies) for installation. We will also need [jq](https://jqlang.github.io/jq/), which can be installed with `sudo apt install jq`.
Then, we clone the Lighthouse repository:
```bash
cd ~
https://github.com/sigp/lighthouse.git
cd lighthouse
```
We are now ready to build Lighthouse. Run the command:
```bash
make
make install-lcli
```
This will build `lighthouse` and `lcli`. For `geth` and `bootnode`, go to [geth website](https://gethstore.blob.core.windows.net/builds/geth-alltools-linux-amd64-1.13.1-3f40e65c.tar.gz) and download the `Geth & Tools`. For example, to download and extract `Geth & Tools 1.13.1`:
```bash
cd ~
curl -LO https://gethstore.blob.core.windows.net/builds/geth-alltools-linux-amd64-1.13.1-3f40e65c.tar.gz
tar -xvf eth-alltools-linux-amd64-1.13.1-3f40e65c.tar.gz
```
After extraction, copy `geth` and `bootnode` to the `PATH`. A typical directory is `/usr/local/bin`, so we run the command`sudo cp geth bootnode /usr/local/bin`.
We are now ready to start a local testnet.
## Starting the testnet
Modify `vars.env` as desired.
To start a testnet using the default settings:
```bash
cd ~
cd /lighthouse/scripts/local_testnet
./start_local_testnet.sh genesis.json
```
This will execute the script and if the testnet setup is successful, you will see "Started!" at the end. Congratulations, you have successfully run a local testnet!
The testnet starts with a post-merge genesis state.
Start a consensus layer and execution layer boot node along with `BN_COUNT`
number of beacon nodes each connected to a geth execution client and `VC_COUNT` validator clients.
The testnet starts a consensus layer and execution layer boot node along with `BN_COUNT`
(the number of beacon nodes) each connected to a geth execution client and `VC_COUNT` (the number of validator clients). By default, `BN_COUNT=4`, `VC_COUNT=4`.
The `start_local_testnet.sh` script takes four options `-v VC_COUNT`, `-d DEBUG_LEVEL`, `-p` to enable builder proposals and `-h` for help. It also takes a mandatory `GENESIS_FILE` for initialising geth's state.
A sample `genesis.json` is provided in this directory.
The `ETH1_BLOCK_HASH` environment variable is set to the block_hash of the genesis execution layer block which depends on the contents of `genesis.json`. Users of these scripts need to ensure that the `ETH1_BLOCK_HASH` variable is updated if genesis file is modified.
The options may be in any order or absent in which case they take the default value specified.
- VC_COUNT: the number of validator clients to create, default: `BN_COUNT`
- DEBUG_LEVEL: one of { error, warn, info, debug, trace }, default: `info`
The `ETH1_BLOCK_HASH` environment variable is set to the block_hash of the genesis execution layer block which depends on the contents of `genesis.json`. Users of these scripts need to ensure that the `ETH1_BLOCK_HASH` variable is updated if genesis file is modified.
To view the beacon, validator client and geth logs:
```bash
./start_local_testnet.sh genesis.json
tail -f ~/.lighthouse/local-testnet/testnet/beacon_node_1.log
taif -f ~/.lighthouse/local-testnet/testnet/validator_node_1.log
tail -f ~/.lighthouse/local-testnet/testnet/geth_1.log
```
where `beacon_node_1` can be changed to `beacon_node_2`, `beacon_node_3` or `beacon_node_4` to view logs for different beacon nodes. The same applies to validator clients and geth nodes.
The view the debug logs for beacon nodes and validator clients:
```
tail -f ~/.lighthouse/local-testnet/node_1/beacon/logs/beacon.log
tail -f ~/.lighthouse/local-testnet/node_1/validators/logs/validator.log
```
Once again, the `node_1` can be modified to view the debug logs for different nodes.
## Stopping the testnet
This is not necessary before `start_local_testnet.sh` as it invokes `stop_local_testnet.sh` automatically.
To stop the testnet, navigate to the directory `cd /lighthouse/scripts/local_testnet`, then run the command:
```bash
./stop_local_testnet.sh
```
Once a testnet is stopped, it cannot be continued from where it left off. When the start local testnet command is run, it will start a new local testnet.
## Manual creation of local testnet
These scripts are used by ./start_local_testnet.sh and may be used to manually
