Documentation

Albeit still incomplete as it is a work in progress, documentation can be found at http://pyaleph.readthedocs.io/ or built from this repository with $ python setup.py docs

Deployment

We recommend following the Easy deployment using Docker-Compose section of the documentation to install a node.

Development

Since PyAleph requires the installation of a few dependencies, the easiest ways to start are the Docker and Docker Compose setup, or the Docker Demo which runs all dependencies in a single container.

Software used

PyAleph is written in Python and requires Python v3.6+. It will not work with older versions of Python.

PyAleph also relies on MongoDB and IPFS.
