Running WaykiChain in Linux

We also support using WaykiChain natively on Linux for those who are not familiar with Docker. Here we will go through how to run WaykiChain coind with Linux

---

Supported Systems

For now, the supported Linux 64bit systems, are：

1. Ubuntu 18.x
2. Cent OS 7.x/Cent OS 8.x

Note: Other Linux builds are untested
It is recommended to use GCC version 7.5 or above

Prepare compilation environment ready

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin -y 
sudo apt-get update
sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -y --force-yes build-essential libtool autotools-dev automake \
    pkg-config libssl-dev libevent-dev bsdmainutils python3 \
    libboost-system-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-chrono-dev libboost-program-options-dev \
    libboost-test-dev libboost-thread-dev software-properties-common libdb4.8-dev libdb4.8++-dev git-core

Automated script

we are going to prepare an automated download script

The script build_local.shcontent is as follows.

#!/bin/bash
sudo mkdir -p /opt/wicc
cd /opt/wicc

#build waykicoind
sudo curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/WaykiChain/WaykiChain/rel/v3.2.1/distros/linuxshell/prepare_prerequisites.sh|bash 
sudo rm -rf WaykiChain
git clone --recurse-submodules -b rel/v3.2.1  https://github.com/WaykiChain/WaykiChain.git
cd ./WaykiChain/distros/linuxshell
sh linux.sh
cd ../../
sh autogen-coin-man.sh coin
make

#copy the coind and WaykiChain.conf
cd ..
cp ./WaykiChain/src/coind coind

#to create directory ~/.WaykiChain if it not exist.
mkdir ~/.WaykiChain

cp ./WaykiChain/docker/WaykiChain.conf ~/.WaykiChain/WaykiChain.conf

Download and compile

Run the following command to execute the script to download the source code.

sh build_local.sh

Check

• please check if have coind (executable file) is in the directory /opt/wicc/ and WaykiChain.conf (config file) is in the directory ``

example

root@ubuntu:/opt/wicc# ls
coind  WaykiChain
root@ubuntu:/opt/wicc\#ls ~/.WaykiChain
WaykiChain.conf

Now goto WaykiChain src directory and run ./coind

./coind &

check if node running normal

./coind getinfo
