colony-starter

A boilerplate to get started with colonyJS!

Prerequisites

• Node >=10.13.0
• Yarn >=1.12.0
• Docker >=18.09.0

You may find it helpful to use Node Version Manager (nvm) to manage Node versions.

If you are using Linux, check out Linux Setup to ensure Yarn and Docker are set up accordingly.

Installation

Step 1

Globally install the colony-cli package:

yarn global add @colony/colony-cli

Step 2

Move to your working directory and unpack the colony-starter package:

colony build colony-starter

Step 3

Move to your new project directory and follow the instructions below:

cd colony-starter

Using NPX

Alternatively, you can use npx and unpack the colony-starter package without installing the colony-cli package.

npx -p @colony/colony-cli colony build colony-starter

Development

yarn start-ganache

Deploy Contracts

Open a new terminal window and deploy the colonyNetwork contracts:

yarn deploy-contracts

Contract Versions

If you do not want to use the default version of the colonyNetwork smart contracts defined by the colony-cli package, you can update the "deploy-contracts" scripts property in your package.json file to use a specific version. This can be a branch name, a commit hash, or a version tag.

"deploy-contracts": "colony service deploy-contracts --specific glider",
