## EVM state test tool

The `evmstate` tool to execute state test.

### Build instructions

There are few options to build `evmstate` tool like any other nimbus tools.

1. Use nimble to install dependencies and your system Nim compiler(version <= 1.6.0).
    ```
    $> nimble install -y --depsOnly
    $> nim c -d:release tools/evmstate/evmstate
    $> nim c -r -d:release tools/evmstate/evmstate_test
    ```
2. Use nimbus shipped Nim compiler and dependencies.
    ```
    $> make update
    $> ./env.sh nim c -d:release tools/evmstate/evmstate
    $> ./env.sh nim c -r -d:release tools/evmstate/evmstate_test
    ```
3. Use nimbus makefile.
    ```
    $> make update
    $> make evmstate
    $> make evmstate_test
    ```
