# About



This repository contains Jito's fork of the Solana validator.



We recommend checking out our [Gitbook](https://jito-foundation.gitbook.io/mev/jito-solana/building-the-software) for

more detailed instructions on building and running Jito-Solana.



---



## **1. Install rustc, cargo and rustfmt.**



```bash

$ curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh

$ source $HOME/.cargo/env

$ rustup component add rustfmt

```



When building the master branch, please make sure you are using the latest stable rust version by running:



```bash

$ rustup update

```



When building a specific release branch, you should check the rust version in `ci/rust-version.sh` and if necessary,

install that version by running:



```bash

$ rustup install VERSION

```



Note that if this is not the latest rust version on your machine, cargo commands may require

an [override](https://rust-lang.github.io/rustup/overrides.html) in order to use the correct version.



On Linux systems you may need to install libssl-dev, pkg-config, zlib1g-dev, protobuf etc.



On Ubuntu:



```bash

$ sudo apt-get update

$ sudo apt-get install libssl-dev libudev-dev pkg-config zlib1g-dev llvm clang cmake make libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler

```



On Fedora:



```bash

$ sudo dnf install openssl-devel systemd-devel pkg-config zlib-devel llvm clang cmake make protobuf-devel protobuf-compiler perl-core

```



## **2. Download the source code.**



```bash

$ git clone https://github.com/jito-foundation/jito-solana.git

$ cd jito-solana

```



## **3. Build.**



```bash

$ ./cargo build

```



# Testing



**Run the test suite:**



```bash

$ ./cargo test

```



### Starting a local testnet



Start your own testnet locally, instructions are in the [online docs](https://docs.solanalabs.com/clusters/benchmark).



### Accessing the remote development cluster



* `devnet` - stable public cluster for development accessible via

  devnet.solana.com. Runs 24/7. Learn more about the [public clusters](https://docs.solanalabs.com/clusters)



# Benchmarking



First, install the nightly build of rustc. `cargo bench` requires the use of the

unstable features only available in the nightly build.



```bash

$ rustup install nightly

```



Run the benchmarks:



```bash

$ cargo +nightly bench

```



# Release Process



The release process for this project is described [here](RELEASE.md).



# Code coverage



To generate code coverage statistics:



```bash

$ scripts/coverage.sh

$ open target/cov/lcov-local/index.html

```



Why coverage? While most see coverage as a code quality metric, we see it primarily as a developer

productivity metric. When a developer makes a change to the codebase, presumably it's a *solution* to

some problem. Our unit-test suite is how we encode the set of *problems* the codebase solves. Running

the test suite should indicate that your change didn't *infringe* on anyone else's solutions. Adding a

test *protects* your solution from future changes. Say you don't understand why a line of code exists,

try deleting it and running the unit-tests. The nearest test failure should tell you what problem

was solved by that code. If no test fails, go ahead and submit a Pull Request that asks, "what

problem is solved by this code?" On the other hand, if a test does fail and you can think of a

better way to solve the same problem, a Pull Request with your solution would most certainly be

welcome! Likewise, if rewriting a test can better communicate what code it's protecting, please

send us that patch!
