  • Ixian-LiteWallet: Simple CLI wallet for the Ixian DLT network.
  • Ixian-Pool: Mining pool software.

About Ixian LiteWallet

Ixian Lite Wallet is a lightweight console executable which allows using an Ixian wallet without running a full Ixian-DLT Node.

Running

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

Windows

Double-click on the IxianLiteWallet.exe to start the wallet.

Linux

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 The default Mono versions shipped with most common distributions are outdated.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.

Open a terminal and navigate to the IxianLiteWallet folder, then type

mono IxianLiteWallet.exe

to start the wallet.

Building

Windows

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.

Linux

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 The default Mono versions shipped with most common distributions are outdated.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 IxianLiteWallet solution. You can do this by typing the following commands in the terminal:

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

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

Development branches

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 binary yourself, please use one of the release tags which will be associated with the master branch.

Documentation

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