node v10.12 or higher (we recommend using nvm)

yarn v1.13 or higher

docker v18 or higher

Add the required solidity compiler by running:

$ docker pull ethereum/solc:0.5.8

In the working directory of your choice, clone the latest version of the colonyNetwork repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/JoinColony/colonyNetwork.git

Move into the directory and install dependencies:

$ cd colonyNetwork && yarn

Update submodule libraries:

$ git submodule update --init

Provision token contracts for testing:

$ yarn provision:token:contracts

The contract upgradability is using the EtherRouter pattern, see the delegate proxy pattern in the documentation for implementation details.

The math, erc20, auth, roles and a significant part of the token contract have been reused from the Dappsys library.

You can start a local test node and deploy the contracts yourself using the locally installed truffle package.

yarn start:blockchain:client



yarn truffle migrate --reset --compile-all

To deploy all contracts and run all contract tests:

yarn test:contracts

To deploy all contracts and run all reputation mining tests:

yarn test:reputation

To run tests with code coverage using solidity-coverage:

yarn run test:contracts:coverage

To lint contracts using Solium

yarn run solium

To lint JS using eslint (this is also a pre-commit hook)

yarn run eslint
