AWS Marketplace =============== To help you design, build and test applications on Corda, called CorDapps, a Corda network AMI can be deployed from the `AWS Marketplace <https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B077PG9SP5>`__. Instructions on running Corda nodes can be found `here <https://docs.corda.net/deploying-a-node.html>`_. This Corda network offering builds a pre-configured network of Corda nodes as Ubuntu virtual machines (VM). The network consists of a Notary node and three Corda nodes using version 1 of Corda. The following guide will also show you how to load one of four `Corda Sample apps <https://www.corda.net/samples>`_ which demonstrates the basic principles of Corda. When you are ready to go further with developing on Corda and start making contributions to the project head over to the `Corda.net <https://www.corda.net/>`_. Pre-requisites -------------- * Ensure you have a registered AWS account which can create virtual machines under your subscription(s) and you are logged on to the `AWS portal <https://console.aws.amazon.com>`_ * It is recommended you generate a private-public SSH key pair (see `here <https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-ssh-keys--2/>`__) Deploying a Corda Network ------------------------- Browse to the `AWS Marketplace <https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace>`__ and search for Corda. Follow the instructions to deploy the AMI to an instance of EC2 which is in a region near to your location. Build and Run a Sample CorDapp ------------------------------ Once the instance is running ssh into the instance using your keypair .. sourcecode:: shell cd ~/dev There are 4 sample apps available by default .. sourcecode:: shell ubuntu@ip-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx:~/dev$ ls -la total 24 drwxrwxr-x 6 ubuntu ubuntu 4096 Nov 13 21:48 . drwxr-xr-x 8 ubuntu ubuntu 4096 Nov 21 16:34 .. drwxrwxr-x 11 ubuntu ubuntu 4096 Oct 31 19:02 cordapp-example drwxrwxr-x 9 ubuntu ubuntu 4096 Nov 13 21:48 obligation-cordapp drwxrwxr-x 11 ubuntu ubuntu 4096 Nov 13 21:48 oracle-example drwxrwxr-x 8 ubuntu ubuntu 4096 Nov 13 21:48 yo-cordapp cd into the Corda sample you would like to run. For example: .. sourcecode:: shell cd cordapp-example/ Follow instructions for the specific sample at https://www.corda.net/samples to build and run the Corda sample For example: with cordapp-example (IOU app) the following commands would be run: .. sourcecode:: shell ./gradlew deployNodes ./kotlin-source/build/nodes/runnodes Then start the Corda test webserver .. sourcecode:: shell find ~/dev/cordapp-example/kotlin-source/ -name corda-testserver.jar -execdir sh -c 'java -jar {} &' \; You can now interact with your running CorDapp. See the instructions `here <https://docs.corda.net/tutorial-cordapp.html#via-http>`__. Next Steps ---------- Now you have built a Corda network and used a basic Corda Cordapp do go and visit the `dedicated Corda website <https://www.corda.net>`_ Additional support is available on `Stack Overflow <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/corda>`_ and the `Corda Slack channel <https://slack.corda.net/>`_. You can build and run any other `Corda samples <https://www.corda.net/samples>`_ or your own custom CorDapp here. Or to join the growing Corda community and get straight into the Corda open source codebase, head over to the `Github Corda repo <https://www.github.com/corda>`_
