Bitcore Node

A Navcoin 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 Navcoin full node 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

su
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_12.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
npm install n
n 6
sudo apt install libzmq3-dev
npm install --unsafe-perm -g git://github.com/Encrypt-S/bitcore-node.git
exit
bitcore-node create mynode
cd mynode
bitcore-node start

Note: For your convenience, we automate the download and compilation of the navcoind daemon. Upon npm install, the sources will be downloaded and built.

Installing modules

cd mynode
bitcore-node install insight-api
bitcore-node install bitcore-wallet-service

Configuration

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

bitcore-node create -d <navcoin-data-dir> mynode
cd mynode
bitcore-node install <service>
