Building the source

Rupaya provides a client binary called rupaya for both running a masternode and running a full-node. Building rupaya requires both a Go (1.7+) and C compiler; install both of these.

Once the dependencies are installed, just run the below commands:

$ git clone https://github.com/rupayaproject/rupaya rupaya
$ cd rupaya
$ make rupaya

Alternatively, you could quickly download our pre-complied binary from our github release page

Running rupaya

Running a Rupaya masternode

Please refer to the official documentation on how to run a node if your goal is to run a masternode. The recommanded ways of running a node and applying to become a masternode are explained in detail there.

Attaching to the Romochain test network

We published our test network 2.0 with full implementation of PoSV consensus at https://stats.testnet.rupaya.io. If you'd like to experiment with smart contract creation and DApps, you might be interested to give these a try on our Testnet.

In order to connect to one of the masternodes on the Testnet, just run the command below:

$ rupaya attach https://testnet.rupaya.io

This will open the JavaScript console and let you query the blockchain directly via RPC.

Running rupaya locally

Download genesis block

$GENESIS_PATH : location of genesis file you would like to put

export GENESIS_PATH=path/to/genesis.json

• Testnet

curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rupayaproject/rupaya/master/genesis/testnet.json -o $GENESIS_PATH

• Mainnet

curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rupayaproject/rupaya/master/genesis/mainnet.json -o $GENESIS_PATH

Create datadir

• create a folder to store rupaya data on your machine

export DATA_DIR=/path/to/your/data/folder 
mkdir -p $DATA_DIR/rupaya

Initialize the chain from genesis

rupaya init $GENESIS_PATH --datadir $DATA_DIR

Initialize / Import accounts for the nodes's keystore

If you already had an existing account, import it. Otherwise, please initialize new accounts

export KEYSTORE_DIR=path/to/keystore

Initialize new accounts

rupaya account new \
  --password [YOUR_PASSWORD_FILE_TO_LOCK_YOUR_ACCOUNT] \
  --keystore $KEYSTORE_DIR

Import accounts

rupaya  account import [PRIVATE_KEY_FILE_OF_YOUR_ACCOUNT] \
     --keystore $KEYSTORE_DIR \
     --password [YOUR_PASSWORD_FILE_TO_LOCK_YOUR_ACCOUNT]

List all available accounts in keystore folder

rupaya account list --datadir ./  --keystore $KEYSTORE_DIR

Start a node

Environment variables

• $IDENTITY: the name of your node
• $PASSWORD: the password file to unlock your account
• $YOUR_COINBASE_ADDRESS: address of your account which generated in the previous step
• $NETWORK_ID: the networkId. Mainnet: 77. Testnet: 89
• $BOOTNODES: The comma separated list of bootnodes. Find them here
• $WS_SECRET: The password to send data to the stats website. Find them here
• $NETSTATS_HOST: The stats website to report to, regarding to your environment. Find them here
• $NETSTATS_PORT: The port used by the stats website (usually 443)

Let's start a node

rupaya  --syncmode "full" \    
    --datadir $DATA_DIR --networkid $NETWORK_ID --port 9050 \   
    --keystore $KEYSTORE_DIR --password $PASSWORD \    
    --rpc --rpccorsdomain "*" --rpcaddr 0.0.0.0 --rpcport 7050 --rpcvhosts "*" \   
    --rpcapi "db,eth,net,web3,personal,debug" \    
    --gcmode "archive" \   
    --ws --wsaddr 0.0.0.0 --wsport 8050 --wsorigins "*" --unlock "$YOUR_COINBASE_ADDRESS" \   
    --identity $IDENTITY \  
    --mine --gasprice 2500 \  
    --bootnodes $BOOTNODES \   
    --ethstats $IDENTITY:$WS_SECRET@$NETSTATS_HOST:$NETSTATS_PORT 
    console
