# 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
- [RPC node & client](https://github.com/CityOfZion/neo-go/tree/master/pkg/rpc/README.md)
- RPC client
- CLI tool
- Smart contract compiler
- NEO virtual machine
# 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
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 automaticly 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/CityOfZion/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 opdump -i mycontract.go
```
This will result in something like this:
```
INDEX OPCODE DESC
0 0x52 OpPush2
1 0xc5 OpNewArray
2 0x6b OpToAltStack
3 0x 0 OpPush0
4 0x6c OpFromAltStack
5 0x76 OpDup
6 0x6b OpToAltStack
7 0x 0 OpPush0
8 0x52 OpPush2
9 0x7a OpRoll
10 0xc4 OpSetItem
```
