# Intro
status-go is an underlying part of [Status](status.im) - a browser, messenger, and gateway to a decentralized world.
It's written in Go and requires Go 1.8 or above.
It uses Makefile to do most common actions. See `make help` output for available commands.
status-go uses [forked ethereum-go](https://github.com/status-im/go-ethereum) with [some changes](https://github.com/status-im/go-ethereum/wiki/Rebase-Geth-1.7.0) in it, located under [`vendor/` dir](https://github.com/status-im/status-go/tree/develop/vendor/github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum).
# Build
There are two main modes status-go can be built:
- standalone server
- library to link for Android or iOS
Use following Makefile commands:
- `make statusgo` (builds binary into `build/bin/statusd`)
- `make statusgo-android`) (builds .aar file `build/android-16/aar`)
- `make statusgo-ios` and `make statusgo-ios-simulator` (builds iOS related artifacts in `build/os-9.3/framework`)
# Testing
To setup accounts passphrase you need to setup an environment variable: `export ACCOUNT_PASSWORD="secret_pass_phrase"`.
To test statusgo, use: `make ci`. Make sure the `gometalinter` package is installed first by running `make lint-install`
To test statusgo using a giving network by name, use: `make ci networkid=rinkeby`.
To test statusgo using a giving network by id number, use: `make ci networkid=3`.
If you want to launch specific test, for instance `RPCSendTransactions`, use the following command:
```
go test -v ./geth/api/ -testify.m ^RPCSendTransaction$
```
Note `-testify.m` as [testify/suite](https://godoc.org/github.com/stretchr/testify/suite) is used to group individual tests.
