Simplified Blockchain

This project is a simple implementation of a blockchain using C++ and OpenSSL's SHA256 algorithm.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have met the following requirements:

• You have "make" tool in your
• You have installed the latest version of CMake.
• You have installed vcpkg, a C++ package manager, and setted-up VCPKG_ROOT variable.

Building the Project

To build the project, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/vsavchyn-dev/blockchain
cd blockchain

2. Install the projcet dependencies:

This project depends on OpenSSL. You can install it using vcpkg in directory:

vcpkg install openssl

3. Configure the project with CMake:

cmake -B build . -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=$VCPKG_ROOT/scripts/buildsystem/vcpkg.cmake

4. Build the project:

cd ./build/ && make

or

cmake --build build && cd ./build/

Running the project

After building the project, you can run it from build directory with:

./blockchain-exmp

This will start the blockchain simulation.
