In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing BitcartCC on Elementary OS using the command line interface.
Before we proceed with the installation of BitcartCC, we need to make sure that Python3 and Pip3 are installed on our system. To install them, open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt install python3 python3-pip
Next, we need to clone the BitcartCC Git repository to the local system. Open the terminal and run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/bitcartcc/bitcart
Before we can use BitcartCC, we need to install the necessary dependencies. Open the terminal and navigate to the BitcartCC directory using the following command:
cd bitcart
Then, run the following command to install the required dependencies:
sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt
To configure BitcartCC, open the "config.py" file located in the "server" directory using a text editor.
nano server/config.py
Then, set the values for the following variables:
BTC_RPC_USER: Your Bitcoin RPC username.BTC_RPC_PASSWORD: Your Bitcoin RPC password.BTC_RPC_HOST: The hostname or IP address of your Bitcoin Core node.BTC_RPC_PORT: The port number of your Bitcoin Core node.DATABASE_URL: The URL of your database. SQLite is used by default.SECRET_KEY: A secret key for ensuring session security.Save and exit the file once the changes have been made.
Finally, start BitcartCC by running the following command in the terminal:
python3 run.py
Once you see the following message in your terminal, it means BitcartCC is running successfully:
* Running on http://127.0.0.1:8000/ (Press CTRL+C to quit)
You can now access the BitcartCC web interface by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:8000/.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed BitcartCC on Elementary OS.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
