Installing Bitcoinda on Ubuntu
=================================
Bitcoind is an official client of Bitcoin Core, a decentralized peer network that enables a quick, safe and open financial transaction without the need for intermediaries like banks. Installing Bitcoinda on Ubuntu provides a full node only commanding line, allowing you to manage your own bitcoin with a private key, checking transactions and mines of the new blocks.
Step 1: Update the package index
Before installing Bitcoinda, make sure the package index is up to date:
`Bash
SUDO APT update
`
Step 2: Install Bitcoind
Download the latest Bitcoind package from Ubuntu warehouse or install it from the source. For this example, we will use the "APT" package manager.
Bash
SUDO APT-GET update
SUDO APT-GET Install -y Bitcoin-Core
`
If you prefer to install from a source:
Bash
Git clone
CD Bitcoin-Core
./Configure -prefix =/USR/locally
make
Make a judge installation
`
Step 3: Check the installation
To check if Bitcoind is properly installed, check the Bitcoin Core version you use:
Bash
Bitcoind -Version
`
This command should show the number of versions.
Step 4: Send your node
To test your full knot, perform the following steps:
- Make a new Bitcoin address : Start theGetrinfo command to get information about your public and private addresses:
`Bash
Getaddrinfo -p 443
`
This will also show your public and private addresses.
- Check the transactions
: Usetxlist
command to check that you receive a new block transaction, indicating that the network works correctly:
Bash
txlist -address = you_public_address
`
Replaceyour_public_addresswith your actual Bitcoin address.
- MINE A COIN (optional) : If you want to use a new block of coins using Bitcoinda, use the following command:
Bash
Bitcoind -Q -q -v
`
This will request your password before you start the mining process.
Step 5: Check your wallet
After that, checking that everything works properly, you should check your wallet to ensure your private key is available:
- Get your seed phrase
: Start theGetseed ‘command’ to find your seed phrase:
`Bash
Getseed -the Full
`
This will display a 12 -word seed phrase.
- Check your balance : UseBalans
command to check your current balance:
Bash
Bitcoind-Wallet-Getaddress 0x [your seed phrase]
`
Replace[your seed phrase]` a real 12 -word seed phrase you have retrieved in step 1.
Conclusion
