bitmarkd - Main program

Prerequisites

• Install the go language package for your system
• Configure environment variables for go system
• install the ZMQ4, UCL, Argon2 libraries

For shell add the following to the shell's profile (remark the export CC=clang if you wish to use gcc)

# check for go installation
GOPATH="${HOME}/gocode"
if [ -d "${GOPATH}" ]
then
  gobin="${GOPATH}/bin"
  export GOPATH
  export PATH="${PATH}:${gobin}"
  # needed for FreeBSD 10 and later
  export CC=clang
else
  unset GOPATH
fi
unset gobin

On FreeBSD/PC-BSD

pkg install libzmq4 libargon2 libucl

On a Debian like system (as of Ubuntu 14.04 this only has V3, so need to search for PPA)

apt-get install libzmq4-dev
# lib ucl and argon2 need to be manually installed
# see the Makefile in c-libraries to set up local static copies

On a macosx (be sure that homebrew is installed correctly)

brew install libucl
brew install argon2

brew tap bitmark-inc/bitmark
brew install zeromq41

To compile simply:

go get github.com/bitmark-inc/go-libucl
go get github.com/bitmark-inc/go-argon2
go get github.com/bitmark-inc/bitmarkd
go install -v github.com/bitmark-inc/bitmarkd/command/bitmarkd

Set up

Create the configuration directory, copy sample configuration, edit it to set up IPs, ports and local bitcoin testnet connection.

mkdir -p ~/.config/bitmarkd
cp command/bitmarkd/bitmarkd.conf.sample  ~/.config/bitmarkd/bitmarkd.conf
${EDITOR}   ~/.config/bitmarkd/bitmarkd.conf

To see the bitmarkd sub-commands:

bitmarkd --config-file="${HOME}/.config/bitmarkd/bitmarkd.conf" help

Generate key files and certificates.

bitmarkd --config-file="${HOME}/.config/bitmarkd/bitmarkd.conf" gen-peer-identity
bitmarkd --config-file="${HOME}/.config/bitmarkd/bitmarkd.conf" gen-rpc-cert
bitmarkd --config-file="${HOME}/.config/bitmarkd/bitmarkd.conf" gen-proof-identity

Start the program.

bitmarkd --config-file="${HOME}/.config/bitmarkd/bitmarkd.conf" start

Note that a similar process is needed for the prooferd (mining subsystem)
