First run

Now let’s run Embark on our dApp to see what it can do for us, and take a quick tour of skeleton dApp.

run_embark run

You should see the Embark console and it's components.

  • Contracts - the top left shows which contracts are deployed and their address. * Modules loaded and running - the top right shows the status of the loaded modules running (or not running) in Embark.
  • Log - the middle shows log output.
  • Console - on the bottom row there is a console that will let us interact with web3 and ipfs (try it out by typing help to see available commands).

Embark output

You’ll notice from the logs and from the modules that Embark has started Go-ethereum and IPFS processes, compiled and deployed our contract, and webpacked our website for us.

The contract warnings in orange will disappear once we "complete" our contract.

Take a tour of the barebones DTwitter site

The website has several features that are not yet hooked up to our contract, but let’s take a look around at the website anyway. Launch http://localhost:8000 in your browser.

Functionality we'll see:

  • Create an account
  • Edit account
  • Tweet
  • Search and view user's tweets

Later, we'll hook this functionality up to a contract.
