Getting started
Get up and running quickly with Govern as a Developer.
The Govern project consists of several sub-projects interacting with each other. The Aragon Govern product can be found here: https://govern.aragon.org/
Contracts
The contracts are split in two projects: erc3k (the interfaces defining the ERC3000 standard), and govern-core (the Aragon Govern contracts, implementing ERC3000).
Relevant packages:
erc3k: ERC3000 interfaces.Govern Core: Aragon ERC3000 implementation.Govern Create: Set of templates used to create new Govern instances.Govern Contract Utils: Set off libraries and utilities used by the Govern contracts.
Govern Console
The Aragon Govern Console is a no-frills, forkable, extensible power user / developer UI tool for interacting with and visualizing low level information about Govern DAOs.
Relevant packages:
Govern Server and Govern.js
Govern Server acts as a central point, fetching data from different sources (Ethereum, the Govern subgraph, IPFS) and providing it as a unified API to consumers.
You can use it through the Govern.js library, or through its GraphQL API. It is powered by The Graph.
Relevant packages:

The continue by bootstrapping the entire monorepo with yarn:
The yarn command might give a: gyp ERR! build error.The next step should work however.
This will install all needed dependencies, and link all packages together to make sure you're using the local version of each one. Now it's time to install dependencies of the @aragon/govern package and to create a build:
Now we are prepared to give Govern Console a run:
No to prevent a 'babel version error' from happening, create a .env file in the root of the govern-console folder, add the following line and then save the file:
SKIP_PREFLIGHT_CHECK=true
Now we are really ready to spin up the @aragon/govern-console package:
