Linux Node & Staking Wallet/Service (CLI) - Installation instructions

After downloading and extracting, you should have got the following files :

putincoind (= Linux CLI Node Wallet/Service)

HowTo-Install.txt (= this installation instruction)

We recommend you to use Ubuntu 16.04, as the code was developed on it and it got all neccessary depencencies.

We don't recommend any lower version of Ubuntu.

Also we cannot offer installation-guides for other Linux-Distributions than Ubuntu.

If you got Ubuntu 16.04:

$ sudo -s

$ apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev libdb-dev libdb++-dev libboost-all-dev git libssl1.0.0-dbg libdb-dev libdb++-dev libboost-all-dev libminiupnpc-dev libevent-dev libcrypto++-dev libgmp3-dev git

$ chmod 755 putincoind

If you got Ubuntu 18.04 and higher:

$ sudo -s

$ nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/xenial-backports.list

Copy/Paste:

deb http://it.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial main restricted deb http://it.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial universe deb http://it.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial-updates universe deb http://it.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial multiverse deb http://it.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial-updates multiverse deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security main restricted deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security universe deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security multiverse

Save. (Strg-X -> Y)

$ apt -y update

$ apt -y install libboost-system1.58.0 libboost-mpi1.58.0 libboost-graph-parallel1.58.0 libboost-program-options1.58.0 libboost-thread1.58.0 libboost_filesystem1.58.0 libqt5gui5 libdb5.3++-dev libdb5.3++ libopenmpi1.10 qrencode libminiupnpc10 git

$ wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/b/boost1.58/libboost-filesystem1.58.0_1.58.0+dfsg-5ubuntu3.1_amd64.deb

$ dpkg -i libboost-filesystem1.58.0_1.58.0+dfsg-5ubuntu3.1_amd64.deb

$ chmod 755 putincoind

Further CLI-Setup (same for all Ubuntu-versions):

$ sudo -s

$ cp putincoind /usr/bin

$ putincoind &

You get the following message: "Error: To use putincoind, you must set a rpcpassword in the configuration file: /home/yourusername/.putincoin/putincoin.conf It is recommended you use the following random password: rpcuser=putincoinrpc rpcpassword=13KEAXFFhx4CrE7pZNzKuBjZxaZZFrXwcGiNKLjQnR6f (you do not need to remember this password) The username and password MUST NOT be the same. If the file does not exist, create it with owner-readable-only file permissions. It is also recommended to set alertnotify so you are notified of problems; for example: alertnotify=echo %s | mail -s "PutinCoin Alert" admin@foo.com"

$ cd ~/.putincoin Delete everyhting in this folder EXCEPT "wallet.dat" (folders need to be removed with "rm -rf")

$ nano putincoin.conf

Copy/Paste:

rpcuser=chooseyourownrpcusername rpcpassword=chooseyourownrpcpassword

Choose the RPC-Port you want to open for the node

rpcport=9998 rpcallowip=127.0.0.1

The PnP-Port should be left at 8567

port=8567

(0=off, 1=on) daemon - run in the background as a daemon and accept commands

daemon=1 txindex=1 listen=1

(0=off, 1=on) server - accept command line and JSON-RPC commands

server=0 enableaccounts=0 staking=0

Save. (Strg-X -> Y)

$ putincoind &

Wallet-Daemon should be running now, check by entering $ putincoind getinfo (It takes around 12 - 24 hours until the cli-node has fully synced with the PUT-blockchain)

If you want to autostart the service on system boot or reboot you must set up a systemd service:

$ sudo -s

$ cd /etc/systemd/system

$ nano putincoind.service

Copy/Paste:

[Unit] Description=Putincoin daemon After=network.target [Service] User=root Group=root Type=forking

PIDFile=/home/REPLACE BY YOUR USERNAME !!/.putincoin/putincoind.pid

ExecStart=/usr/bin/putincoind -conf=/home/REPLACE BY YOUR USERNAME !!/.putincoin/putincoin.conf KillMode=process Restart=always TimeoutSec=120 RestartSec=30 [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target

Save. (Strg-X -> Y)

$ chmod 755 putincoind.service

$ systemctl daemon-reload

$ systemctl enable putincoind.service

$ putincoind stop

$ service putincoind start
