# Overview
This project aims to be a full port of the original C# [NEO project](https://github.com/neo-project).
A complete toolkit for the NEO blockchain, including:
- Consensus node (WIP)
- [RPC node & client](https://github.com/nspcc-dev/neo-go/tree/master/pkg/rpc/README.md)
- [RPC client](https://github.com/nspcc-dev/neo-go/blob/master/pkg/rpc/README.md)
- CLI tool
- [Smart contract compiler](https://github.com/nspcc-dev/neo-go/blob/master/pkg/vm/compiler/README.md)
- [NEO virtual machine](https://github.com/nspcc-dev/neo-go/blob/master/pkg/vm/README.md)
# Getting started
## Installation
Install dependencies.
`neo-go` uses [dep](https://github.com/golang/dep) as its dependency manager. After installing `deps` you can run:
```
make deps
```
## How to setup a node
### Docker
Each tagged build is built to docker hub and the `:latest` tag pointing at the latest tagged build.
By default the `CMD` is set to run a node on `testnet`, so to do this simply run:
```bash
docker run -d --name neo-go -p 20332:20332 -p 20333:20333 cityofzion/neo-go
```
Which will start a node on `testnet` and expose the nodes port `20333` and `20332` for the `JSON-RPC` server.
### Building
Build the **neo-go** CLI:
```
make build
```
Quick start a NEO node on the private network. This requires the [neo-privatenet](https://hub.docker.com/r/cityofzion/neo-privatenet/) Docker image running on your machine.
```
make run
```
To run the binary directly:
```
./bin/neo-go node -seed 127.0.0.1:20333,127.0.0.1:20334
```
By default the node will run on the `private network`, to change his:
```
./bin/neo-go node --mainnet
```
Available network flags:
- `--mainnet, -m`
- `--privnet, -p`
- `--testnet, -t`
If you want in-depth customization for your node, there are `yaml` config files for each `network` available in the `config` directory. Those files are automatically loaded, corresponding the provided `netmode` flag.

## Writing smart contracts in Go
In depth documentation about the **neo-go** compiler and smart contract examples can be found inside the [compiler package](https://github.com/nspcc-dev/neo-go/tree/master/pkg/vm/compiler).
### Compile a smart contract
```
./bin/neo-go contract compile -i mycontract.go
```
By default the filename will be the name of your `.go` file with the `.avm` extension, the file will be located in the same directory where you called the command from. If you want another location for your compiled contract:
```
./bin/neo-go contract compile -i mycontract.go --out /Users/foo/bar/contract.avm
```
### Debugging your smart contract
You can dump the opcodes generated by the compiler with the following command:
```
./bin/neo-go contract inspect -i mycontract.go
```
This will result in something like this:
```
INDEX OPCODE DESC
0 0x54 PUSH4
1 0xc5 NEWARRAY
2 0x6b TOALTSTACK
3 0x5a PUSH10
4 0x6a DUPFROMALTSTACK
5 0x0 PUSH0
6 0x52 PUSH2
7 0x7a ROLL
8 0xc4 SETITEM
