Building Qtum Core
Installing dependencies (This will work for Ubuntu and Debian)
sudo apt-get install build-essential libtool autotools-dev automake pkg-config libssl-dev libevent-dev bsdmainutils git cmake libboost-all-dev libgmp3-dev
Compiling Qtum Core from source
From Github source:
git clone https://github.com/qtumproject/qtum --recursive
cd qtum && make -C depends/
DEPENDS="$(pwd)/depends/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu"
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=$DEPENDS
make
make install
This will install all the Qtum binaries on depends/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
From a release file:
wget https://github.com/qtumproject/qtum/archive/refs/tags/mainnet-fastlane-v0.20.2.tar.gz
tar -xpf mainnet-fastlane-v0.20.2.tar.gz && cd qtum-mainnet-fastlane-v0.20.2
git clone --recursive https://github.com/qtumproject/cpp-eth-qtum.git src/cpp-ethereum
make -C depends/
DEPENDS="$(pwd)/depends/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu"
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=$DEPENDS
make
make install
This will install all the Qtum binaries on depends/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
Running Qtum Core
Type from a terminal:
qtumd -daemon
Also, make sure to create a qtum.conf with your credentials if needed for accessing RPC calls.
This is a sample qtum.conf file
rpcuser=qtum
rpcassword=coin
server=1
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
logevents=1
daemon=1
QRC20 Tokens on Qtum Core
Enabling Log events
add logevents=1 to the qtum.conf file before launching the daemon
Run Qtum like this:
qtumd -daemon -logevents -txindex=1
If Qtum has already synced, you'll need to reindex blocks:
qtumd -daemon -reindex
