MCashChain Node Tutorial

MCash Compose leverages Docker Compose to help you start a node or supper node.

Requirements

• Linux (Debian / Ubuntu preferred)
• Windows

Setup

This is the initial setup process. You will only need to do this once.

1. Clone and cd into this repo

git clone https://github.com/MidasCore/mcash-compose.git && cd mcash-compose

2. Install Docker and Docker-Compose (skip this if already installed)

Linux:

• run sudo ./get_started.sh (easiest way)

or

• copy and run the following commands:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install curl python3 apt-transport-https ca-certificates software-properties-common -y && curl -fsSL get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh && sh get-docker.sh && sudo usermod -aG docker "$USER" && sudo pip3 install docker-compose

 

Reboot the machine

• run sudo reboot

 

Windows:

• Install Docker and Docker Compose (https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/install/)

3. Get the bootstrap file (skip this if you want to sync the blockchain from scratch)

Linux:

• run ./bootstrap.sh

Windows:

• download this file and unzip it into current folder

4. Start mcashnode

Start mcashnode to finish syncing the blockchain

• If you want to run supper node, you have to edit docker-compose.yml with your witness private key

      WITNESS: "true"
      PRIVATE_KEY: ""

docker-compose up -d mcashnode
