  • Docker image 

NOTE - At this time RNode does not run successfully in Docker on MacOSX. This is because you must run Docker with the host networking option.  By default, Docker runs in network bridge mode.  To use the host networking option, you must include the 'network=host' option  in your Docker run command. This flag does not work on MacOSX.

Code Block
docker pull rchain/rnode:dev

Other requirements

Download and save the bonds.txt file

Note - If you previously downloaded and save the bonds file for a different testing session, you need to make a change. Previously the system looked for the bonds file in the /validators directory. Changes in the software now supports looking for the bonds file in the /genesis directory. Please make sure the bonds file is stored in the correct directory.

Select a validator key

Empty the var/lib/rnode directory

  • If you have previously run RNode, we advise you empty this directory.

Run instructions

Please see User guide for running RNode for run instructions. For this testing session we will use public bootstrap node for dev branch shown in the user guide. Other run instructions may be provided during the session.

Share your experience

You best support the improvement and development of the RChain platform when you file a bug to report challenge you faced or unsuccessful outcomes. This will help us collect all relevant information to better understand your setup and experience.
