Eris DB is Eris' blockchain client. It includes a permissions layer, an implementation of the Ethereum Virtual Machine, and uses Tendermint Consensus. Most functionality is provided by eris chains, exposed through eris-cli, the entry point for the Eris Platform.

Background
See the eris-db documentation for more information.
Installation
eris-db is intended to be used by the eris chains command via eris-cli. Available commands such as make | start | stop | logs | inspect | update are used for chain lifecycle management.
For Developers
- Install go
- Ensure you have
gmpinstalled (sudo apt-get install libgmp3-dev || brew install gmp) go get github.com/eris-ltd/eris-db/cmd/eris-db
To run eris-db, just type $ eris-db serve --work-dir <path to chain directory>
This will start the node using the provided folder as working dir. If the path is omitted it defaults to ~/.erisdb
Usage
Once the server has started, it will begin syncing up with the network. At that point you may begin using it. The preferred way is through our javascript api, but it is possible to connect directly via HTTP or websocket. The JSON-RPC and web-api reference can be found here.
Configuration
A commented template config will be written as part of the eris chains make process and can be edited prior to the eris chains start process.
