There are 2 options how to run a Callisto Network node.
The simpliest way is to download a precompiled binary of of the go-callisto/geth client from github.
After downloading, copy the binary to /usr/local/bin with the name of the binary “geth”.
2. Another option is to compile the source code. To do so please follow the steps below. This is a simple tutorial for compiling the source code of the go-callisto/geth client.
What do you need first? A fresh install of the OSes!
Let's Go :)
We start this tutorial by preparing Ubuntu 18.04. It is necessary to install Go.
Now we will add PATH to the profile, to do this open the ".profile" file.
Add this 2 lines to the end of the ".profile" file.
Load the profile with:
Install the dependency for compiling.
In this step, we will install the dependencies for the Go-Callisto client compilation.
Installing Go:
Now we will add PATH to the profile, to do this open the ".bash_profile" file.
Add this line to the end of the ".bash_profile" file.
Load the profile with:
Now that Go is installed, the next step is to install Go-Callisto/Geth client. The command is same under Ubuntu or CentOS.
Clone the repo.
Make the go-callisto/geth client.
Check Go-Callisto/Geth client version.
To run Go-Callisto/Geth client type the following command:
Depending on what you intend to do with the node itself, you have several options. Do you plan to make an Explorer? A mining pool? A web wallet? Or perhaps just run a node? All options and their details are listed in the section below.
