Hi,
i have my problems with installing Sentinel on the VPS as described in https://github.com/terracoin/sentinel.

First of all, the Command "./terracoin-cli getinfo | grep version" shows the message: -bash: ./terracoin-cli: Permission denied
I set up the Masternode on the first days when Masternode where enabled, so i think it sould be the right Version and i continued.

At the command "virtualenv ./venv" the console said that it is not installed, i installed it with the command "sudo apt install virtualenv" and continued (hope that it is not an indicator for more is missing).

And eventually i failed at the "Set up Cron".
I installed Sentinel at the main directory. So "dir" shows me the 3 folders sentinel, terracoin-cli and terracoind. So how should it looks like with replacing '/home/YOURUSERNAME/sentinel' ?
The Username at vultr.com is always root, but that doesn't work. The rpcUsername doesn't work. I dont know how it should looks like.
I tried different path but every test runs with 3 fails and 20 passes.

Can anyone help me? Or will there be an easier solution or description i should wait for?

Thank you!

That looks like terracoin-cli still needs chmod +x ran on it. So from the root directory chmod +x terracoin-cli That gives it permission to be run.

On my VPS host it also doesn't come with virtualenv so I had to install it. I will update the readme.

If you installed everything in the root directory then the path should be /root/sentinel

3 of the tests haven't been fixed yet (they use test data in the test directory so it isn't actually testing live data. We just need to update the data), but since getting everyone up and running on Sentinel is so important we released the code now. Those three tests don't really matter basically.

If you are root (not advised for security reasons, but I won't go into that), then your home is probably /root.

Having said that, the '/home/YOURUSERNAME/sentinel' I believe should simply point to wherever your sentinel directory lives. If you created it at the base of your filesystem, then you would use '/sentinel'

If permission is denied for terracoin-cli, then you want to make it executable: "chmod 600 terracoin-cli"

Attention Dev
Is there a guide on setting up the PoW Masternode (i don't want to get PoS rewards)

I don't think there are any PoS rewards with Terracoin, since it is a PoW coin (mineable).

To set up a masternode, you can probably follow the DASH guide for the most part:
https://dashpay.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DOC/pages/1867820/TAO+S+SETUP+GUIDE+FOR+DUMMIES+12.1

But make sure to get your sentinel from: https://github.com/terracoin/sentinel and not from the Dash repository.

Thank you for helping! I didn't see your posts until after I had already written this reply.

I also have a guide available https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6wHcTCr1qh3ZHJ1Slhhb1JJOE0

U3mur4a is also updating his guide/script to include Sentinel.

Everyone needs to install Sentinel as fast as possible so they get rewards, and so the fractured stormchain is fixed. https://github.com/terracoin/sentinel

I will be back to my home base later tonight or tomorrow morning and I will be posting a more verbose update. Thanks!
