We recommend building on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (64-bit)
Build Dependencies:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install autoconf cmake make automake libtool git libboost-all-dev libssl-dev g++ libcurl4-openssl-dev
Build Script:
git clone https://github.com/bar-chain/bar-core.git
cd bar-core
git checkout master # may substitute "master" with current release tag
git submodule update --init --recursive
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo .
make
Upgrade Script (prepend to the Build Script above if you built a prior release):
git remote set-url origin https://github.com/bar-chain/bar-core.git
git checkout master
git remote set-head origin --auto
git pull
git submodule update --init --recursive # this command may fail
git submodule sync --recursive
git submodule update --init --recursive
NOTE: Bar Core requires a Boost version in the range [1.57 - 1.65.1]. Versions earlier than
1.57 or newer than 1.65.1 are NOT supported. If your system's Boost version is newer, then you will need to manually build
an older version of Boost and specify it to CMake using DBOOST_ROOT.
NOTE: Bar Core requires a 64-bit operating system to build, and will not build on a 32-bit OS.
NOTE: Bar Core now supports Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
NOTE: Bar Core now supports OpenSSL 1.1.0
After Building, the witness_node can be launched with:
./programs/witness_node/witness_node
The node will automatically create a data directory including a config file. It may take several hours to fully synchronize
the blockchain. After syncing, you can exit the node using Ctrl+C and setup the command-line wallet by editing
witness_node_data_dir/config.ini as follows:
rpc-endpoint = 127.0.0.1:8090
After starting the witness node again, in a separate terminal you can run:
./programs/cli_wallet/cli_wallet
Set your inital password:
>>> set_password <PASSWORD>
>>> unlock <PASSWORD>
To import your initial balance:
>>> import_balance <ACCOUNT NAME> [<WIF_KEY>] true
