Running a Node

In this section we explain how to run Stegos Node.

Prerequisites:

Run Stegos Node:

    ./stegosd
    ./stegosd
    docker run -v $PWD/stegos-data:/data -t -i stegos/stegos

    Stegos Node will automatically create a data directory to store the blockchain and your accounts:

    INFO [stegosd] Data directory: /home/yourname/.local/share/stegos

    The default path to the data directory depends on your operating system:

      $HOME/.local/share/stegos
      $HOME/Library/Application Support/stegos
      C:\Users\$USER\AppData\Roaming
      /data/.local/share/stegos

      You can override default path to the data directory by setting STEGOS_DATA_DIR environment variable or providing--data-dir command-line option.

      See [**Data Directory Layout**](/developers/data_directory_layout/) page for additional information about structure of this directory.

      On the first run, the blockchain database is initialized using the genesis block for testnet network:

      INFO [stegosd] Using genesis=14427eb426e3 for 'testnet' chain

      You can override chain by setting STEGOS_CHAIN environment variable or providing --chain command line option. Supported networks:

      • testnet - test network
      • mainnet - production network

      On the second and subsequent runs, Node will check the consistency of the blockchain database on the disk. This operation can take up to 5-10 minutes. Please be patient.
