3 - HOW TO CREATE A YIC WALLET ON LINUX

Let's install all packages/libraries to install the wallet (packages described on GitHub):

Installing GitHub package:

Code:

sudo apt-get install -y git

Installing Libs to support wallet:

Code:

sudo apt-get install build-essential automake libssl-dev libboost-all-dev libdb5.3++-dev libminiupnpc-dev screen

Creating specific folder for the wallet and wallet data.
The standard installation is on home folder (~/.yicoin)

================ Step 01 // Preparing the environment ================

First, let's create the folder

Code:

sudo mkdir /wallets

Giving permission for all (you can be more specific to be safety)

Code:

sudo chmod 777 /wallets

================ Step 02 // Getting the wallet ================

Let's download the Git Code:

Code:

cd /wallets;
git clone https://github.com/YiDeveloper/Yi.git yic

Compiling the code:

Code:

cd /wallets/yic/src/leveldb
chmod +x build_detect_platform
cd ..
sudo make -f makefile.unix

Copying the bin for /wallet (main folder)

Code:

mv -f /wallets/yic/src/YiCoind /wallets/yic/

================ Step 03 // Personalizing the DATA FOLDER ================

All data about the YIC will be saved here (wallet, conf, bootstrap, etc):

Code:

mkdir /wallets/yic/wallet

================ Step 04 // Creating CONFIG file to start the Wallet as Proof-of-Stake ================

Code:

cd /wallets/yic/wallet
vi YiCoin.conf

Copy and paste the code bellow:

Quote

rpcuser=
rpcpassword=
server=1
listen=1
staking=1
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=66470
port=66471
addnode=54.214.64.41:55486

================ Step 05 // STARTING the wallet in PoS mode ================
This step will take long time to syncing

Code:

/wallets/yic/YiCoind -datadir=/wallets/yic/wallet -daemon -server

You can monitor the sync update looking the LOG file:
PS: It will take long time running

Code:

tail -f /wallets/yic/wallet/debug.log

================ Step 06 // Creating alias ================

ALIAS will help us to reduce the code when you write it on the prompt.

Code:

alias yic="/wallets/yic/YiCoind -datadir=/wallets/yic/wallet"

Now, type only:

Code:

yic getinfo

instead of

Code:

/wallets/yic/YiCoind -datadir=/wallets/yic/wallet getinfo

Let's save the alias on the profile to be used any moment you are logged:

Code:

cd ~
vi .bash_profile

If the file exists, ignore this step! If not, add this on the begin of the file .bash_profile:

Quote

# .bash_profile

# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi

# User specific environment and startup programs
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
export PATH

That's fine, let's add the ALIAS on the end of file:

Quote

alias yic="/wallets/yic/YiCoind -datadir=/wallets/yic/wallet"

Just save it and done.

================ Step 07 // Quick tips ================
Help:

Code:

yic -?

To know the balance and POW / POS / Block

Code:

yic getinfo

Get only balance

Code:

yic getbalance

List of lasts of transactions

Code:

yic listtransactions

Stop the wallet

Code:

yic stop

Get your Wallet Address

Code:

yic getaccountaddress MN01

I hope it can help you!
