DeLight - Lightweight DeVault client (an Electron-Cash fork)

Licence: MIT Licence
Author: The DeVault Developers
Language: Python
Homepage: https://devault.cc/

Getting started

Note: If running from source, Python 3.6 or above is required to run DeLight. If your system lacks Python 3.6, you have other options, such as the binary releases.

DeLight is a pure python application forked from Electrum. If you want to use the Qt interface, install the Qt dependencies:

sudo apt-get install python3-pyqt5 python3-pyqt5.qtsvg

If you downloaded the official package (tar.gz), you can run DeLight from its root directory (called Electrum), without installing it on your system; all the python dependencies are included in the 'packages' directory. To run DeLight from its root directory, just do:

./delight

You can also install DeLight on your system, by running this command:

sudo apt-get install python3-setuptools
python3 setup.py install

This will download and install the Python dependencies used by DeLight, instead of using the 'packages' directory.

If you cloned the git repository, you need to compile extra files before you can run DeLight. Read the next section, "Development Version".

Hardware Wallet - Ledger Nano S

DeLight natively support Ledger Nano S hardware wallet. If you plan to use you need an additional dependency, namely btchip. To install it run this command:

sudo pip3 install btchip-python

If you still have problems connecting to your Nano S please have a look at this troubleshooting section on Ledger website.

Development version

Check out the code from Github:

git clone https://github.com/devaultcrypto/DeLight
cd DeLight

Run install (this should install dependencies):

python3 setup.py install

or for Debian based systems ( tested on Debian v9 Stretch ):

sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3-dnspython python3-pyaes libsecp256k1-0 python3-protobuf python3-jsonrpclib-pelix python3-ecdsa python3-qrcode python3-pyqt5 python3-socks

Then

Compile the protobuf description file:

sudo apt-get install protobuf-compiler
protoc --proto_path=lib/ --python_out=lib/ lib/paymentrequest.proto

Create translations (optional):

sudo apt-get install python-requests gettext
./contrib/make_locale

Compile libsecp256k1 (optional, yet highly recommended):

./contrib/make_secp

For plugin development, see the plugin documentation.

Running unit tests:

pip install tox
tox

Tox will take care of building a faux installation environment, and ensure that the mapped import paths work correctly.
