# 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/docs/rpc.md)
- [CLI tool](https://github.com/nspcc-dev/neo-go/blob/master/docs/cli.md)
- [Smart contract compiler](https://github.com/nspcc-dev/neo-go/blob/master/docs/compiler.md)
- [NEO virtual machine](https://github.com/nspcc-dev/neo-go/blob/master/docs/vm.md)
# Getting started
## Installation
Go: 1.12+
Install dependencies.
`neo-go` uses [GoModules](https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Modules) as dependency manager:
```
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
```
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`
