Radiant Node

COMPILE RADIANT NODE WITH UBUNTU 22.04

Small guide to compile the Radiant node and use its commands

Github

• Radiant node source code: https://github.com/RadiantBlockchain/radiant-node

• Original guide to compile in Ubuntu: https://github.com/RadiantBlockchain/radiant-node/blob/master/doc/build-unix-deb.md

Libraries to compile

Necessary libraries and applications to compile the node:

sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake git libboost-chrono-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-test-dev libboost-thread-dev libevent-dev libminiupnpc-dev libssl-dev libzmq3-dev help2man ninja-build python3 libdb-dev libdb++-dev

Download node source

Download radiant node source code to compile:

git clone https://github.com/radiantblockchain/radiant-node.git

Once you have downloaded the source code, enter the generated folder, create the build folder and enter inside it

cd radiant-node/
mkdir build
cd build

Compile options

Two options to compile (QT does not work properly):

• No QT (recommend)

cmake -GNinja .. -DBUILD_RADIANT_QT=OFF

• No wallet, no QT

cmake -GNinja .. -DBUILD_RADIANT_WALLET=OFF -DBUILD_RADIANT_QT=OFF

Once everything is configured, proceed to compile with ninja and wait a few minutes.

ninja

The result will be generated in the src folder src/radiantd src/radiantd src/radiant-cli src/radiant-wallet

To run the node from any location, we can copy the file to a system directory

sudo cp src/radiant* /usr/local/bin/

---

Create config file

mkdir ~/.radiant
touch ~/.radiant/radiant.conf

Copy main data to the configuration file

cat > ~/.radiant/radiant.conf << EOL
rpcuser=$(cat /dev/urandom | tr -dc 'a-zA-Z0-9' | fold -w 12 | head -n 1)
rpcpassword=$(cat /dev/urandom | tr -dc 'a-zA-Z0-9' | fold -w 32 | head -n 1)

listen=1
server=1
daemon=1

maxconnections=16

EOL

Useful commands

• START NODE: radiantd

• STOP NODE: radiant-cli stop

• NODE INFO: radiant-cli -getinfo

• NODE SYNCHRONISM: radiant-cli getblockchaininfo

• CONNECTIVITY: radiant-cli getnetworkinfo

• WALLET STATUS: radiant-cli getwalletinfo

• CREATE NEW ADDRESS: radiant-cli getnewaddress "Principal"

• GET PRIVATE ADDRESS KEY:radiant-cli dumpprivkey Direccion_Generada

• IMPORT PRIVATE KEY: radiant-cli importprivkey L1NLnbPQWaE3sDMedHgHy9q3wMjzZ2HCRAtgfQqfwXppAvnPBeit Test

• WALLET ADDRESSES: radiant-cli listreceivedbyaddress 1 true

Start node

Set up node for testnet

To start your node in testnet run the following command

radiantd -testnet -daemon

You probably need to establish a connection to a node already running on testnet. You can check if you have any connections and if the node is synching by checking

radiant-cli -testnet -getinfo

If you dont have any connections and the block count is 0 you will need to manually connect to a testnet node. To find nodes already running head on over to https://explorer-testnet.radiantblockchain.org/peers. There you will find a list over IPs that you can connect to. Choose one and replace the x'ed out IP in the command:

radiant-cli -testnet addnode xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx add

Now you should be able to see the connections and the node will sync.
