Getting started guide for go-libp2p node

This repo contains source code example for running a simple node with libp2p's Go implementation called go-libp2p. The node can send and receive "ping" messages depending on how it started the execution.

Required commands:

1. Build module:

   Unix/Linux: go build -o <OUTPUT_BINARY_NAME>

   or

   Windows: go build -o <OUTPUT_BINARY_NAME>.exe

2. Run listening node in one terminal:

   Unix/Linux: ./OUTPUT_BINARY_NAME

   or

   Windows: OUTPUT_BINARY_NAME.exe

3. Ping listening node from another terminal using multiaddress as command line argument:

   Unix/Linux: ./OUTPUT_BINARY_NAME multiaddress

   or

   Windows: OUTPUT_BINARY_NAME.exe multiaddress
