Building in Linux

Steps to Run Linux Build

1. Download Ubuntu Desktop 20.04 LTS ISO from the Ubuntu website

2. Create a VM with the image from step 1 (process depends on your machine - not covered here)

(These first two steps do not apply if you have a native Linux machine or are using WSL command line)

3. Download/copy .sh file from this link

4. chmod +x install_xgt.sh

   • must be in the directory where install_xgt.sh is located

5. ./install_xgt.sh

   • must be in the directory where install_xgt.sh is located
   • this will take 10-15 minutes

6. sudo apt install ruby-full

7. sudo gem install xgt-ruby

8. cg xgt

9. rake configure

10. rake make

    • this will take 10-15 minutes

11. cd ..

12. nano runXGT.sh

13. Copy and paste the following format into the new file, replacing the empty values with your wallet and private recovery key:

#/bin/sh

export seed_host=98.33.76.100:2001,xgt.rag.pub:2001,xgt2.rag.pub:2001,45.138.27.42:2001,68.129.31.2:2001,116.202.114.157:2001,195.201.167.19:2001
export wallet_name=your-wallet-address
export recovery_private=your-private-recovery-key
export witness_private=your-private-recovery-key

cd xgt &&
  MINING_DISABLED=FALSE \
  MINING_THREADS=4 \
  XGT_INSTANCE_INDEX=1 \
  XGT_WALLET=$wallet_name \
  XGT_WIF=$recovery_private \
  XGT_RECOVERY_PRIVATE_KEY=$recovery_private \
  XGT_WITNESS_PRIVATE_KEY=$witness_private \
  XGT_SEED_HOST=$seed_host \
  rake run

Set MINING_DISABLED=TRUE if you are setting up a sync/seed node. The value of MINING_THREADS depends on your machine. Run ctrl-o to save and ctrl-x to exit.

16. chmod +x runXGT.sh

17. ./runXGT.sh
