Electra CLI

NodeJS CLI tools for Electra daemon and blockchain.

Installation

Local

The local installation is useful if you want to use Electra CLI tools.

Prerequisites:

• Node v8+ (with npm)

npm i -g electra-cli

Remote

The remote installation is useful if you want to run a Server Node to help the network and eventually publish it as a bootstrap node for new Electra wallet users.

Deploy a Server Node

Prerequisites:

• APT-based OS (Debian, Ubuntu, etc).
• Full root access.

cd ~
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git -y
wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.11/install.sh | bash
# or: curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.11/install.sh | bash
source ~/.bashrc
nvm install 10
git clone https://github.com/Electra-project/electra-cli.git
