Install Dependencies:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install autoconf cmake git libboost-all-dev libssl-dev g++ libcurl4-openssl-dev
Build BitShares Core - Select testnet branch
In order to run a full node, get the sources (branch testnet ) and compile:
git clone https://github.com/bitshares/bitshares-core.git bitshares-core-testnet
cd bitshares-core-testnet
git checkout testnet
git submodule update --init --recursive
cmake .
make
After compile, run the node with:
$ programs/witness_node/witness_node --rpc-endpoint
run the CLI wallet in a new window with:
$ programs/cli_wallet/cli_wallet
Warning
On this network, everything is allowed. As a consequence, the outside price of any token on this blockchain is exactly zero. A reset of the blockchain may occur at any moment!
