## The Nym Privacy Platform
|
|
|
|
This repository contains the full Nym platform, written in Rust.
|
|
|
|
The platform is composed of multiple Rust crates. Top-level crates include:
|
|
|
|
* client - an executable crate which you can use for interacting with Nym nodes
|
|
* mixnode - an executable mixnode crate
|
|
* sfw-provider - an executable store-and-forward provider crate. The provider acts sort of like a mailbox for mixnet messages.

### Building
|
|
|
|
#### Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
* Rust 1.39 or later. Stable works.
|
|
* The `nym` platform repo (this one).
|
|
* Checkout the [Sphinx](https://github.com/nymtech/sphinx) repo beside the `nym` repo.
|
|
|
|
Your directory structure should look like this:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ tree -L 1
|
|
├── nym
|
|
├── sphinx
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Change directory in `nym` and then `cargo build` will build the software.
|
|
|
|
As with any other Rust project, there are other ways to build:
|
|
|
|
* `cargo build --release` will build an optimized release version for use in production
|
|
* `cargo test` will run unit and integration tests for the crate (once)
|
|
* `cargo watch -x test` will run tests whenever you change a file in the crate. Very handy in development.
