Running node as a service

To manage node, use RPC commands or CLI


Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Server, Ubuntu 16.10+, Debian 8 Jessie, Debian 9 Stretch

Debian 8 requires Cmake 3.4+

Dependency Build Instructions

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade   
sudo apt-get install git cmake g++ curl wget

Building static Boost

wget -O boost_1_66_0.tar.gz https://netix.dl.sourceforge.net/project/boost/boost/1.66.0/boost_1_66_0.tar.gz   
tar xzvf boost_1_66_0.tar.gz   
cd boost_1_66_0   
./bootstrap.sh --with-libraries=filesystem,iostreams,log,program_options,thread   
./b2 --prefix=../[boost] link=static install   
cd ..

Building rai_node

git clone --recursive https://github.com/nanocurrency/raiblocks.git rai_build   
cd rai_build   
cmake -DBOOST_ROOT=../[boost]/ -G "Unix Makefiles"   
make rai_node   
cp rai_node ../rai_node && cd .. && ./rai_node --diagnostics

CentOS 7

requires GCC comiler version 4.9+ or other compiler with C++14 language support (default Centos 7 compilers are outdated) + Cmake 3.4+

Dependency Build Instructions

sudo yum check-update   
sudo yum install git libstdc++-static curl wget   

Configure repository with modern GCC

sudo yum install centos-release-scl   
sudo yum install devtoolset-7-gcc*   
scl enable devtoolset-7 bash   

Building modern Cmake

wget https://cmake.org/files/v3.12/cmake-3.12.1.tar.gz   
tar zxvf cmake-3.12.1.tar.gz && cd cmake-3.12.1    
./bootstrap --prefix=/usr/local   
make -j$(nproc)   
sudo make install   
cd ..    

Building static Boost

wget -O boost_1_67_0.tar.gz https://netix.dl.sourceforge.net/project/boost/boost/1.67.0/boost_1_67_0.tar.gz   
tar xzvf boost_1_67_0.tar.gz && cd boost_1_67_0   
./bootstrap.sh --with-libraries=filesystem,iostreams,log,program_options,thread   
./b2 --prefix=../[boost] link=static install   
cd ..
