Augur is a decentralized oracle and peer to peer protocol for prediction markets. Augur is free, public, open source software, portions of which are licensed under the General Public License (GPL) and portions of which are licensed under the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) license. Augur is a set of smart contracts written in Solidity that can be deployed to the Ethereum blockchain.
Augur is a protocol, freely available for anyone to use however they please. Augur is accessible through a desktop client app, similar to interacting with an Ethereum or Bitcoin node. Users of the Augur protocol must themselves ensure that the actions they are performing are compliant with the laws in all applicable jurisdictions and must acknowledge that others’ use of the Augur protocol may not be compliant. Users of the Augur protocol do so at their own risk.
For more information about the Augur protocol, check out the FAQ.
This repository will soon become Augur's monorepo. For the time being, this repository is being used for global issues, pull requests, and project milestones. Click on the issues board below to browse active projects, development pipeline, weekly sprints and more.

Installation
Clone Augur's Monorepo.
git clone https://github.com/AugurProject/augur.git
Then, install the packages using Yarn.
yarn
Repository Typescript build commands
NOTE: Run yarn at the base of the repository to install dependencies before running any of the following.
| Command | Purpose |
|---|---|
yarn build |
Build all everything but the UI once. |
yarn build:watch |
Build everything but the UI continuously. |
yarn build:clean |
Remove JUST typescript build artifacts |
yarn clean |
Remove everything that isn't currently being tracked by git (node_modules, build aretifacts, etc.) |
UI development
Run the following command:
yarn build:watch
Or alternatively using docker-compose:
docker-compose -f support/gitstart/gitstart.yml up
On a different terminal window, you can either run with the variable ETHEREUM_NETWORK set to "kovan", that is one of the testnets of the Ethereum Network, or without this variable, in which case it will search for data in your localhost/127.0.0.1. As of right now, "kovan" is the only testnet supported.
Running on localhost:
yarn workspace @augurproject/ui dev
Running on the "kovan" testnet
ETHEREUM_NETWORK=kovan yarn workspace @augurproject/ui dev
Running the workspace currently shows quite a few warnings regarding source mappings. We will fix this as soon as possible.
Docker images available
| Command | Purpose |
|---|---|
yarn docker:geth:pop-15 |
15 second block times, real time, has contracts and canned market data. |
yarn docker:geth:pop |
5 second block times, fake time, use flash scripts to move time . |
yarn docker:geth:pop-normal-time |
5 second block times, real time, has contracts and canned market data. |
yarn docker:geth |
5 second block times, no contracts uploaded, use dp to upload . |
