How to install cryptonote on OpenSUSE Latest

Cryptonote is a decentralized, privacy-focused cryptocurrency platform that provides users with a secure and anonymous way to conduct transactions. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing cryptonote on OpenSUSE Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, please ensure that you have the following:

• A functional OpenSUSE Latest installation
• Access to the command line terminal
• Basic knowledge of the command line interface

Step 1: Download the Cryptonote source code

First, download the latest version of the Cryptonote source code from the official website: https://cryptonote.me/. You can either download the source code as a zip archive or git clone from the repository.

Step 2: Install dependencies

Next, we need to install the Cryptonote dependencies. OpenSUSE Latest comes with most of the required dependencies. Run the following command to install additional libraries and development headers:

$ sudo zypper install libboost-all-dev libssl-dev libdb++-dev libminiupnpc-dev

Step 3: Build Cryptonote

After installing the required dependencies, navigate to the directory where you downloaded the Cryptonote source code. Then, build Cryptonote using the following command:

$ make

This process may take some time, depending on your system configuration.

Step 4: Configure the Cryptonote network

Now, we need to configure the Cryptonote network. This includes setting up the config file, RPC port, and storage location for the blockchain data. Navigate to the cryptonote/src directory and copy the cryptonote_example.conf file to cryptonote.conf:

$ cp cryptonote_example.conf cryptonote.conf

Open the cryptonote.conf file with your preferred text editor and configure the following settings:

• p2p-bind-port: Port number to bind for the P2P network (default: 18080).
• rpc-bind-port: Port number to bind for the RPC server (default: 18081).
• data-dir: Directory to store the blockchain data (default: ~/.cryptonote).

Save the file after making changes.

Step 5: Start the Cryptonote daemon

Finally, start the Cryptonote daemon using the following command:

$ ./cryptonoted --config-file=cryptonote.conf

This will start the Cryptonote daemon and sync the blockchain data. Wait for the daemon to complete the initial sync before proceeding.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Cryptonote on OpenSUSE Latest. You can now start using the Cryptonote client to send and receive transactions on the network.

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!
