Appearance

Setup ​

  1. If you haven't already, install the nix package manager with:
bash
sh <(curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install) --daemon
bash
sh <(curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install)

And follow along its instructions and prompts.

  1. Add the appropriate nix caches to your environment:
bash
nix run nixpkgs#cachix use holochain-ci
nix run nixpkgs#cachix use darksoil-studio

WARNING

p2p Shipyard relies heavily on nix to achieve reproducible environments. Unfortunately, nix does not support Windows. If you have a Windows OS, you will need to install Windows Subsystem Linux and run all the steps in this guide inside of its environment.

Creating an app with p2p Shipyard ​

p2p Shipyard apps use holochain as their underlying distributed platform.

  1. If you don't have one already, create a new holochain app with:
bash
nix run github:darksoil-studio/scaffolding#hc-scaffold-happ -- web-app
  1. Enter the newly created folder, and add support for cross-platform binaries with:
bash
nix run github:darksoil-studio/tauri-plugin-holochain#scaffold-tauri-happ

That's it! Now you have the skeleton of a peer-to-peer app. You can now move on to designing your app.
