Install and run the Qwertycoin daemon on your server

You can install the Qwertycoin daemon from precompiled sources or compile it yourself. Guides for both are below.

Precompiled

• You can download the precompiled binaries here. Enter your downloaded file through your terminal and run qwertycoind with an open port like so:

./qwertycoind --restricted-rpc --enable-cors=* --enable-blockchain-indexes --rpc-bind-ip=0.0.0.0 --rpc-bind-port=8197

Compile yourself

• This is a guide for compiling on Linux (Ubuntu). For other operating systems you can find a guide here.

Install dependancies

sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake git

• You will need Cmake version 3.10 to compile Qwertycoin. You can find a guide on installing that here.

Building

• After installing the dependencies you can run this simple script:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/qwertycoin-org/qwertycoin
cd ./qwertycoin
mkdir ./build
cd ./build
cmake -DBUILD_ALL:BOOL=TRUE ..
cmake --build . --config Release

• If all went well, it will complete successfully, and you will find all your binaries in the ./build/src directory.

• Finally run qwertycoind with an open port like so:

./qwertycoind --restricted-rpc --enable-cors=* --enable-blockchain-indexes --rpc-bind-ip=0.0.0.0 --rpc-bind-port=8197

Install the block explorer code

You can host the block explorer with Apache or Nginx. For this guide I will be using Apache.

• Install Apache

sudo apt-get update
​
sudo apt-get install apache2
​
sudo ufw allow 'Apache Full'

• Next download the block explorer code

git clone https://github.com/qwertycoin-org/qwertycoin-blockchain-explorer.git

• Change the 'api' variable in config.js to point to your daemon. Also change the '$apiNode=' variable in /api/index.php to point the API urls to your daemon.

• Once that is done copy all the files to the html directory.

sudo cp -rf api/ config.js css/ favicon.ico index.html js/ LICENSE pages/ q/ README.md /var/www/html/

• Your block explorer can now be seen at your servers address.

Extra:

• You can change the look of your block explorer by playing around with the css files.
