Troubleshoot

Why my node can't be compiled?

• Check your VPS or OS must installed Rust v1.64, for installing step by step you can visit this link.
• If large errors appear during compilation, try running cargo clean.
• Ensure snarkOS is started using ./run-client.sh or ./run-prover.sh.

Why my node can't be connected to peers on the network?

• Ensure ports 4133/tcp and 3033/tcp are open on your router and OS firewall.
• You can use this command for open this port :

ufw allow 4133/tcp
ufw allow 3033/tcp

• Ensure snarkOS is started using ./run-client.sh or ./run-prover.sh.

Why I can't generate new address?

• Before running the command above (snarkos account new) try source ~/.bashrc
• Also double-check the spelling of snarkos. Note the directory is /snarkOS, the command is snarkos
