Quick Start

Following steps will assume that the shell can find the executable ckb, see how to get CKB.

First creates a directory to run CKB

mkdir ckb-dev
cd ckb-dev

All the following commands will run in this same directory.

Then init the directory with the default config files.

ckb init

See how to configure CKB if you like to tweak the options.

Start Node

Start the node from the directory

ckb run

Restarting in the same directory will reuse the data.

Find RPC port in the log output, the following command assumes 8114 is used:

curl -d '{"id": 1, "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method":"get_tip_header","params": []}' \
  -H 'content-type:application/json' 'http://localhost:8114'

Run miner, gets a block template to mine.
