Building apiserver requires a Go (version 1.13 or later). You can install
it using your favourite package manager. Once the dependencies are installed, run
makeThe build output is build/apiserver executable.
You don't need to clone the project into $GOPATH, due to use of Go Modules you can use any location.
To run the API Server you need access to a RPC interface of a full Lachesis node. Please follow Lachesis instructions to build and run the node. Alternatively you can obtain access to a remotely running instance of Lachesis.
We recommend using local IPC channel for communication between a Lachesis node and the API Server for performance and security reasons. Please consider security implications of opening Lachesis RPC to outside access, especially if you enable "personal" commands on your node while keeping your account keys in the Lachesis key store.
Persistent data are stored in a MongoDB database. Going through the installation and configuration process of MongoDB is out of scope here, please consult MongoDB manual to install and configure appropriate MongoDB environment for your deployment of the API server.
