Development Dependencies

A patched version of web3.py is used because otherwise it does not work with Ganache due to issue #674. In addition, in order to be able to monitor events, PR #827, which is not merged yet. Pyethereum dependencies broke recently so we need to manually install a slightly older version of rlp encoding. Flask is used for server purposes.

On OSX + Homebrew

source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh
mkvirtualenv erc721plasma --python=/usr/bin/python3.6
pip install -r requirements.txt

Launch Plasma Chain

  1. Make sure the contracts are deployed at the correct addresses (npm run migrate:dev in server directory)
  2. Run FLASK_APP=./child_chain FLASK_ENV=development flask run --port=8546 in one terminal. This will start a Plasma Chain instance which listens at localhost:8546 and is also connected to the deployed contracts
  3. Run python demo.py

TODO Should probably bundle these into makefiles, i.e. make server should launch the plasma chain.
