Bitcore Node Safe

A Safe full node for building applications and services with Node.js. A node is extensible and can be configured to run additional services. At the minimum a node has an interface to Safe Core v7.2.x for more advanced address queries. Additional services can be enabled to make a node more useful such as exposing new APIs, running a block explorer and wallet service.

Install

npm install bitcore-safe

Prerequisites

• Safe Core (v7.2.x) with support for additional indexing (see above)
• Node.js v0.10, v0.12, v4 or v5
• ZeroMQ (libzmq3-dev for Ubuntu/Debian or zeromq on OSX)
• ~20GB of disk storage
• ~1GB of RAM

Configuration

Bitcore includes a Command Line Interface (CLI) for managing, configuring and interfacing with your Bitcore Node.

bitcore-node-safe create -d <safe-data-dir> mynode
cd mynode
bitcore-node-safe install <service>
bitcore-node-safe install https://github.com/yourname/helloworld
bitcore-node-safe start

This will create a directory with configuration files for your node and install the necessary dependencies.

Please note that Safe Core v7.2.x will be downloaded automatically. Once completed the safed binary should be placed into the <safe-data-dir> folder specified during node creation.

For more information about (and developing) services, please see the Service Documentation.
