Use the iExec decentralized marketplace for off-chain computing from your terminal.
All three major OS are supported (linux, OSX, windows).
npm -g install iexec # install the cli
iexec --version
iexec --help
Requirements: Docker.
# For Linux users
echo 'alias iexec='"'"'docker run -e DEBUG=$DEBUG --interactive --tty --rm -v /tmp:/tmp -v $(pwd):/iexec-project -v /home/$(whoami)/.ethereum/keystore:/home/node/.ethereum/keystore -w /iexec-project iexechub/iexec-sdk:latest'"'"'' >> ~/.bash_aliases && source ~/.bashrc
# For Mac OSX users
echo 'alias iexec='"'"'docker run -e DEBUG=$DEBUG --interactive --tty --rm -v /tmp:/tmp -v $(pwd):/iexec-project -v /Users/$(whoami)/Library/Ethereum/keystore:/home/node/.ethereum/keystore -w /iexec-project iexechub/iexec-sdk:latest'"'"'' >> ~/.bash_profile && source ~/.bash_profile
Now run iexec --version
to check all is working.

required steps before following any other workflow.
iexec init # create all required files
iexec wallet show # show your wallet
iexec storage init # initialize your remote storage
NB: iExec SDK CLI access the public blockchain (mainnet) through ethers to connect different backends (Alchemy, Etherscan, INFURA).
Default API keys for backend services are provided for convenience. As these keys are shared across all users and are subject to rate limits, you must use your own API keys or better your own node.
Get API keys for backend services:
Once you created your access, you can add your API keys in the
chains.json
configuration file:{ "default": ..., "chains": { ... }, "providers": { "infura": { "projectId": "INFURA_PROJECT_ID", "projectSecret": "INFURA_PROJECT_SECRET" }, "etherscan": "ETHERSCAN_API_KEY", "alchemy": "ALCHEMY_API_KEY" } }If you run your own node, you can add an
host
key in thechains.json
configuration file to target your node:{ "default": ..., "chains": { ... "mainnet": { "id": "1", "host": "http://localhost:8545" } } }Check your current host:

%CLI_API_GENERATED_DOC%
To write on the blockchain, prove their identity and manage their assets, iExec's users need a wallet.
Wallet files are generated by iexec init and iexec wallet commands and stored in the Ethereum keystore.
The keystore location depends on your OS:
- Linux : ~/.ethereum/keystore
- Mac: ~/Library/Ethereum/keystore
- Windows: ~/AppData/Roaming/Ethereum/keystore
The iexec.json
file, located in every iExec project, describes the parameters used when creating a [app|dataset|category|workerpool], or when signing an order.

This folder is created when running iexec result generate-encryption-keypair
or iexec dataset init --tee
and is intended to store credentials generated by the iexec SDK CLI.
This folder stores the key pair to use for result encryption and decryption.
A key pair is generated when running iexec result generate-encryption-keypair
Public keys name follow the pattern userAddress_key.pub , this key is shared with the workers when running iexec result push-encryption-key
Private keys name follow the pattern userAddress_key this should never be shared with third party, the private key is used by the SDK CLI to decrypt a result when running iexec result decrypt
.
This folder stores the AES keys used for dataset encryption.
A key is generated for each dataset file when running iexec dataset encrypt
.
The key file is named after the dataset file name, last key generated is also stored in ./secrets/datasets/dataset.key
to be used as default secret to share with workers when running iexec dataset push-secret
.
This folder is created when running iexec dataset init --tee
and is intended to store datasets files.
Paste your original dataset files in this folder and run iexec dataset encrypt
to encrypt them.
This folder stores the encrypted datasets files.
An encrypted dataset file is created for each dataset file when running iexec dataset encrypt
.
The encrypted dataset file is named after the dataset file name.
The encrypted dataset files must be upload on a public file system and referenced in multiaddr when running iexec dataset deploy
.
If your program is not written in javascript, your last option to use the SDK would be to spawn it as a separate process (sometimes called FORK operation). After each SDK run you should check the exit code returned by the SDK to know if the operation was successful or not echo $?
:
- 0 = successful
- 1 = error
Finally, you could choose to parse the SDK stdout/stderr to access more information. Use the global option --raw to get json formatted output.
ex:
iexec wallet show --raw &> out.json
iexec wallet show --raw | jq .
Warning:
- The stdout/stderr is subject to changes (this is what makes this solution brittle)
- The node and docker version have some slight differences in their stdout/stderr
