“list”: [
	{
		“ip”: “set your IP address”
		“port”: “set the port on which your node will be running”
	},
{
		“ip”: “Set seed node IP address”
		“port”: “set the port on which seed node will be running”
	}
]

“user”: “set database user”
“password”: “set database password”
“list”: [
	{
		“ip”: “set your IP address”
		“port”: “set the port on which your node will be running”
},
{
//For 5 Windows nodes, seed IP is already configured in the shared 5 files so no need of adding this entry
		“ip”: “Set seed node IP address”
		“port”: “set the port on which seed node will be running”
}
]

Launch BPL node To launch BPL on mainnet:

npm run start:bplmainnet

Debian- (We have tested with Jessie 8.7)

Developer Installation Install essentials

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y curl build-essential python git

Install Node.js (min version: 6.9.2)

sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
sudo apt-get intsall -y npm
sudo npm install -g n
sudo n 6.9.2

Install PostgreSQL (min version: 9.5.2) Since Debian 8.8/8.8 installs psql 9.4.12 , we will need to add the repository manually to install psql 9.5:

wget -q https://www.postgresql.org/media/keys/ACCC4CF8.asc -O - | sudo apt-key add -
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/ jessie-pgdg main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pgdg.list'
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y postgresql-9.5
sudo -u postgres createuser –createdb $USER
createdb ‘Database Name’  (this should match with the database name from config file)

Clone BPL Node repository

If git is not found, following adds the repository manually:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys E1DD270288B4E6030699E45FA1715D88E1DF1F24
sudo su -c "echo 'deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/git-core/ppa/ubuntu trusty main' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/git.list"
sudo apt-get -y update
sudo apt-get install -y git

git clone https://github.com/blockpool-io/BPL-node.git   (make sure you have git installed)
cd BPL-node
git checkout mainnet

Install node modules

sudo apt-get install libpq-dev
npm install libpq secp256k1
npm install

Add configurations for your node Change the following in config.mainnet.json:

“list”: [
	{
		“ip”: “set your IP address”
		“port”: “set the port on which your node will be running”
	},
{
		“ip”: “Set seed node IP address”
		“port”: “set the port on which seed node will be running”
	}
]
