Dashcore Node

A Dash full node for building applications and services with Node.js. A node is extensible and can be configured to run additional services. At the minimum a node has an interface to Dash Core (dashd) v0.12.1.x for more advanced address queries. Additional services can be enabled to make a node more useful such as exposing new APIs, running a block explorer and wallet service.

Install

npm install -g @dashevo/dashcore-node

Prerequisites

Dash Core (dashd) (v0.12.1.x) with support for additional indexing (see above)
Node.js v0.10, v0.12, v4 or v5
ZeroMQ (libzmq3-dev for Ubuntu/Debian or zeromq on OSX)
~20GB of disk storage
~1GB of RAM

Configuration

Dashcore includes a Command Line Interface (CLI) for managing, configuring and interfacing with your Dashcore Node.

dashcore-node create -d <dash-data-dir> mynode
cd mynode
dashcore-node install <service>
dashcore-node install https://github.com/yourname/helloworld
dashcore-node start

This will create a directory with configuration files for your node and install the necessary dependencies.

Please note that Dash Core need to be installed first.
