After installing eosio.cdt, eos/build/programs/ directory is not found. I cant find programs directory inside build folder. My intention is to run keosd manually. Why programs directory is not formed after building and installing cdt?

$ keosd
keosd: command not found

Steps to install keosd globally

  1. Clone the eos git repository Run eosio_build.sh for building it
  2. Run /root/opt/mongodb/bin/mongod -f /root/opt/mongodb/mongod.conf & then export PATH=${HOME}/opt/mongodb/bin:$PATH
  3. cd eos/build Run sudo make install
  4. Run eosio_install.sh shell script or add keosd into the system path Try running cleos or keosd anywhere it will work

You have installed keosd but to run it globally you have to add keosd in to the system path.

After cloning eos you will find two shell script files first you run eosio_build.sh to install eos and then run eosio_install.sh.

eosio_install will add all programs of eosio in the system path so you can access eosio programs anywhere regardless of their locations.

eosio.cdt is provided only for contract related stuff. So running keosd has nothing to do with the smart contracts. keosd is only provided for keys management.

    Just do one thing install keosd globally then start keosd and to hit an api for wallet suppose you want to unlock the wallet you can do it via http request for example in curl you can perform that via curl and node i am providing that in different comments please check that.

  • CURL curl -X POST \ 127.0.0.1:9999/v1/wallet/unlock \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -H 'cache-control: no-cache' \ -d '["wallet_name","password"]'

  • NODE Request var request = require("request"); var options = { method: 'POST', url: '127.0.0.1:9999/v1/wallet/unlock', headers: { 'cache-control': 'no-cache', 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }, body: [ 'name', 'password' ], json: true }; request(options, function (error, response, body) { if (error) throw new Error(error); console.log(body); });
