How to Install
NodeCore is the full node daemon for VeriBlock. Because many common tasks require NodeCore, it should be as easy to get started as possible.

NodeCore has basic hardware needs that most machines will have. It will require disk space to store the full node (say 10GB and growing). See exact details here: NodeCore_Operations
For LINUX
Run this install script (thank you OverCookedPanda):
TODO_LINK____
Besides checking hardware requirements and ensuring necessary software is installed (lie Java 8), it will:
- Get the latest NodeCore software, reading from this url: https://testnet.explore.veriblock.org/api/stats/download
- Get the latest Bootstrap file, also reading from the above url (you could sync from scratch, but it will be *much* faster to download the bootstrap file)
- Unzip the bootstrap file and put the nodecore.dat in the bin\testnet folder
- Set NodeCore to have execute permissions
- Run NodeCore in a screen
For WINDOWS
There is not yet a one-stop install script, so the above steps will need to be done manually. But it can be done fast:
- Ensure the correct software installed from here: NodeCore_Operations (this is standard software, and may already exist)
- Get the latest links: https://testnet.explore.veriblock.org/api/stats/download
- nodecore_all_zip --> 100mb. Unzip this.
- bootstrapfile_zip --> several GB. Unzip this, it creates a "nodecore.dat" file, place it in the nodecore\bin\testnet folder. If "testnet" doesn't exist in "bin", then create it. (See: NodeCore_Bootstrap_File for more details)
- Run nodecore-0.3.9\bin\nodecore.bat
- Note: you could also run "start.bat", which kicks off the NodeCore_CLI, and run the "startnodecore" command. Both ways do the same thing.
See: HowTo_run_NodeCore for more details
What Success Looks like
A process should be running.
What Next?
- Run the GUI Wallet
- Start PoW Mining with a GPU
- Start PoP Mining
- Start a Community Pool
- Join the community and help others!
