Quick start

This takes about ten minutes. Everything here runs locally, and nothing contacts an external service.

1. Install

pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
pnpm -r run build

2. Run the examples

node examples/run.mjs

Four scenarios run and should print 4/4 examples passed:

1. A ₹40,000 payment is ALLOW, executes once, and its evidence verifies.
2. A ₹80,000 payment is DENY, and the connector is never called.
3. Altered evidence is detected as INVALID.
4. After an authority is revoked, a previously ALLOW decision no longer executes.

3. Walk through the SDK

node examples/sdk-quickstart.mjs

Read examples/sdk-quickstart.mjs. It declares an authority, authorizes a request, executes it through the boundary, records evidence, and verifies the ledger. SDK guide explains each step.

4. Run the conformance suite

node apps/cli/dist/bin.js conformance run conformance

Expected: 16/16 cases passed. These fixtures define what a correct implementation must produce.

5. Try the CLI

node apps/cli/dist/bin.js help
node apps/api/dist/keygen.js ./keys engine    # writes keys/engine.pem (private) and keys/engine.public.json

Keep private keys out of version control. ./keys is not ignored by default; add it to your own .gitignore.

6. Run the server (optional)

See Installation for configuration and Docker. The server starts with no connectors, so executions are refused until you wire one in.
