The Ixian GitHub project is divided into seven main parts:

• Ixian-Core: Functionality common to all other projects.
• Ixian-DLT: Implementation of the blockchain-processing part (the Master Node software).
• Ixian-S2: Implementation of the streaming network (the S2 Node software).
• Spixi: Implementation of the SPIXI messaging client for Windows, Android and iOS.
• Ixian-Miner: Implementation of the Ixian standalone mining software.
• Ixian-LiteWallet: Simple CLI wallet for the Ixian DLT network.
• Ixian-Pool: Mining pool software.

Download the latest binary release or you can compile the code yourself.

Right-click the run.bat file in the IxianMiner directory and choose Edit. In the notepad window, modify YOUR_ADDRESS with your Ixian wallet address and WORKER_NAME with a name for your mining rig. Then choose File -> Save and close the window. Double-click on the run.bat file to start mining to your wallet address.

or

Open a terminal in the IxianMiner directory and type

IxianMiner.exe -h

to find out how to configure and run the IxianMiner.

Download and install the latest Mono release for your Linux distribution. The default Mono versions shipped with most common distributions are outdated.

Go to the Mono official website and follow the steps for your Linux distribution. We recommend you install the mono-complete package.

Navigate to the IxianMiner Release folder and execute IxianDLT.exe under mono:

mono IxianMiner.exe -h

to find out how to configure and run the IxianMiner.

Visual Studio 2017 is required (Community Edition is fine), you can get it from here: Visual Studio

Several NuGetPackages are downloaded automatically during the build process.

Download and install the latest Mono release for your Linux distribution. The default Mono versions shipped with most common distributions are outdated.

Go to the Mono official website and follow the steps for your Linux distribution.

We recommend you install the mono-complete package.

For Debian based distributions such as Ubuntu, type

sudo apt install mono-complete nuget msbuild git gcc

or if you have a Redhat based distribution, type

sudo yum install mono-complete nuget msbuild git gcc

Next you'll need to build the IxianMiner solution. You can do this by typing the following commands in the terminal:

git clone https://github.com/ProjectIxian/Ixian-Miner.git
cd Ixian-Miner
nuget restore IxianMiner.sln
msbuild IxianMiner.sln /p:Configuration=Release

The IxianMiner will be compiled and placed in the IxianMiner/bin/Release/ folder.

For the IxianMiner to work correctly, you'll need to copy the libargon2.so shared library to the IxianMiner/bin/Release/ folder. You can use the library provided in the latest Ixian Binary release.

If you want to build the libargon2 shared library yourself, you can do this by typing the following commands in the terminal:

git clone https://github.com/P-H-C/phc-winner-argon2.git
cd phc-winner-argon2
make

Copy the resulting libargon2.so file to the IxianMiner/bin/Release/ folder, like so:

cp libargon2.so.1 ../IxianMiner/bin/Release/libargon2.so

Adjust the directory as neccessary, if you compiled the argon library in a different location. Please note that the library name generated by the argon project is libargon2.so.1, but Ixian requires libargon2.so. The file can be safely renamed, as shown in the command above.

There are two main development branches:

• master: This branch is used to build the binaries for the official IXIAN DLT network. It should change slowly and be quite well-tested. This is also the default branch for anyone who wishes to build their Ixian software from source.
• development: This is the main development branch and the source for testnet binaries. The branch might not always be kept bug-free, if an extensive new feature is being worked on. If you are simply looking to build a current testnet binary yourself, please use one of the release tags which will be associated with the master branch.

You can find documentation on how to build, APIs and other documents on Ixian Documentation Pages.
