electronerod

electronerod is the daemon software that ships with the Electronero tree. It is a console program, and manages the blockchain. While a bitcoin wallet manages both an account and the blockchain, Electronero separates these: electronerod handles the blockchain, and electronero-wallet-cli handles the account.

This guide assumes you have already set up your VPS account and are using SSH to tunnel into the server console.

Linux, 64-bit (Ubuntu 16.04 LTS)

Make sure that port 26777 is open

electronerod uses this port to communicate with other nodes on the Electronero network.

Example if using ufw: sudo ufw allow 26777 Example if using iptables: sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 26777 -j ACCEPT

Download the current Electronero Core binaries

wget https://downloads.electronero.org/linux64

Make a directory and extract the files.

mkdir electronero
tar -xjvf linux64 -C electronero

Launch the daemon

cd electronero
./electronerod

Options:
