Building Grid

Local Builds

To build Grid locally, first you must install the prerequisites outlined in the README. Then run cargo build from the root directory. This command builds all of the Grid components, including gridd (the grid daemon), the CLI, and all of the smart contracts in the contracts directory.

To build individual components, run cargo build in the component directories. For example, to build only grid-cli, navigate to cli, then run cargo build.

Docker Builds

To build Grid using Docker, run docker-compose build from the root directory. This command builds Docker images for all of the Grid components, including gridd (the grid daemon), the CLI, and all of the smart contracts in the contracts directory.

To build individual components using Docker, run docker-compose build <component> from the root directory. For example, to build only grid-cli, run docker-compose build grid-cli.

To use Docker to build Grid with experimental features enabled, set an enviroment variable in your shell before running the build commands. For example: export 'CARGO_ARGS=-- --features experimental'. To go back to building with default features, unset the evironment variable: unset CARGO_ARGS
