Notes
|
|
|
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Tested on OS X 10.9.1 on Intel processors only. PPC is not
|
|
|
|
|
supported because it is big-endian.
|
|
|
|
|
* All of the commands should be executed in a Terminal application. The
|
|
|
|
|
built-in one is located in `/Applications/Utilities`.

Preparation
|
|
|
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You need to install XCode with all the options checked so that the compiler
|
|
|
|
|
and everything is available in /usr not just /Developer. XCode should be
|
|
|
|
|
available on your OS X installation media, but if not, you can get the
|
|
|
|
|
current version from https://developer.apple.com/xcode/. If you install
|
|
|
|
|
Xcode 4.3 or later, you'll need to install its command line tools. This can
|
|
|
|
|
be done in `Xcode > Preferences > Downloads > Components` and generally must
|
|
|
|
|
be re-done or updated every time Xcode is updated.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There's an assumption that you already have `git` installed, as well. If
|
|
|
|
|
not, it's the path of least resistance to install [Github for Mac](https://mac.github.com/)
|
|
|
|
|
(OS X 10.7+) or
|
|
|
|
|
[Git for OS X](https://code.google.com/p/git-osx-installer/). It is also
|
|
|
|
|
available via Homebrew or MacPorts.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You will also need to install [Homebrew](http://mxcl.github.io/homebrew/)
|
|
|
|
|
or [MacPorts](https://www.macports.org/) in order to install library
|
|
|
|
|
dependencies. It's largely a religious decision which to choose, but I tested only with
|
|
|
|
|
Homebrew.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The installation of the actual dependencies is covered in the Instructions
|
|
|
|
|
sections below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Instructions: HomeBrew
|
|
|
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Install dependencies using Homebrew
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
brew install boost miniupnpc openssl berkeley-db4 autoconf automake libtool
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Building `twisterd`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Clone the github tree to get the source code and go into the directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
git clone https://github.com/miguelfreitas/twister-core.git
|
|
|
|
|
cd twister-core
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Build twister using autotool
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
./autotool.sh
|
|
|
|
|
./configure --enable-logging --with-openssl=/usr/local/opt/openssl --with-libdb=/usr/local/opt/berkeley-db4
|
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
|
(If you have multi core CPU, use "make -j N" where N = number of your cores)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. If things go south, before trying again, make sure you clean it up:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
make clean
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If all went well, you should now have a twisterd executable in the twister-core directory.
|
|
|
|
|
See the Running instructions below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Instructions: MacPorts (UNTESTED!!)
|
|
|
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Install dependencies
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installing the dependencies using MacPorts is very straightforward.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sudo port install boost db48@+no_java openssl miniupnpc libtool
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once installed dependencies, do:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
./autotool.sh
|
|
|
|
|
./configure --enable-logging
|
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If things go south, before trying again, make sure you clean it up:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
make clean
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Running
|
|
|
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It's now available at `./twisterd`, provided that you are still in the `twister-core`
|
|
|
|
|
directory. We have to first create the RPC configuration file, though.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Run `./twisterd` to get the filename where it should be put, or just try these
|
|
|
|
|
commands:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
echo -e "rpcuser=user\nrpcpassword=pwd\nrpcallowip=127.0.0.1" > "/Users/${USER}/.twister/twister.conf"
|
|
|
|
|
chmod 600 "/Users/${USER}/.twister/twister.conf"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When next you run it, it will start downloading the blockchain, but it won't
|
|
|
|
|
output anything while it's doing this. This process may take several hours. If you see a lonely
|
|
|
|
|
`connect: Operation timed out`, don't freak out, it seems to work fine.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Other commands:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
tail -f ~/.twister/debug.log
|
|
|
|
|
./twisterd --help # for a list of command-line options.
|
|
|
|
|
./twisterd -daemon # to start it as a daemon.
|
|
|
|
|
./twisterd help # When the daemon is running, to get a list of RPC commands
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In order to get the HTML interface, you'll have to download it and link it in .twister:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
git clone https://github.com/miguelfreitas/twister-html.git /Users/${USER}/.twister/html
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once you do that, it will be available at http://localhost:28332/home.html
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
|
1) You get "DHT network down" in WEB interface on /network.html page
|
|
|
|
|
- Reboot your Mac
|
|
|
|
|
