Hi Earlz,
Looks like you are a competent IT guy, could you help me out (if you are familiar with Linux), I would really appreciate some help in getting Testnet up and running on a new Ubuntu Desktop…..
Thanks, Pat
Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS
64-bit
Created directory: home/pat/BiblePay/bbp-lin-develop-64
files in this Folder:
biblepay-cli
biblepayd
biblepay-qt
biblepaytest.conf
From tips from a search, I have run these commands from the command line….
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential
$ sudo apt-get install qtcreator
$ sudo apt install qt5-default
$ sudo apt-get install qt5-doc qtbase5-examples qtbase5-doc-html
Evenin Pat.
Looks like you are almost home, just have to set up the biblepay config file.
So i usually just run command
cd ~/biblepay
to get into the biblepay folder in the terminal.
then you can run the
ls
command in terminal to list folders and files inside the biblepay folder.
This being said you should have gotten another file folder when you unzipped the biblepay zip file.
Called
.biblepaytest
location i think your home folder.
If you dont see the file you will have to click the "show hidden files" button , its right next to the minimize button on the top right.
So Pat you could try this out:
Open up terminal window then :
1
cd ~/biblepay
2
mv biblepaytest.conf /home/pat/.biblepaytest
3
cd ~/.biblepaytest
4
nano biblepaytest.conf
Now you should have gotten nano text editor open and can configurate testnet so to say. in there just add parameter:
testnet=1
debug=1
then you can just hit Ctrl+x and save the above Changes that you made to the biblepaytest.conf file.
then just
cd ~/biblepay
then
./biblepay-qt -conf=biblepaytest.conf
Then i belive it should work for you Pat.
Im no expert either at linux but we learn as we go.
If you wonder anything else or something you thinking of just give out a shout.
