Nervos CKB Desktop Wallet

You will need node >= 12 and yarn >= 1.14 to build and run Neuron.

This project uses lerna for package management.

$ yarn global add lerna # install lerna globally

After lerna has been installed, run this to install and link dependencies:

$ yarn bootstrap

As of v0.26.0, Neuron bundles a CKB binary and starts it for Mainnet automatically. If you prefer to run a local CKB node yourself instead, please follow the Nervos CKB doc to get it up and running before launching Neuron.

Note: If you run CKB node on Windows but it fails to start, you may need to download and install the latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019.

$ ./scripts/download-ckb.sh # Download CKB binary for your platform. Neuron will starts it automatically.
$ yarn start

This command starts neuron-ui, the React UI layer and neuron-wallet, the core wallet layer.

You can also start them independently:

# start neuron-ui at `http://localhost:3000`
$ yarn start:ui

# start neuron-wallet
$ yarn start:wallet

$ yarn test

If you don't want to bother building from source, you can download a binary from releases. We offer pre-built binaries for Windows, Linux and macOS.
